Any recommendations for PHP code linters or static analysis tools?

@kelpana

https://packagist.org/packages/symplify/easy-coding-standard for formatting.

https://phpstan.org/ for static analysis and replacing phpmd.

https://github.com/maglnet/ComposerRequireChecker for detecting dependency landmines.

@kelpana PHPStan: @phpstan & I'd also consider trying some extensions too, depending what you are using - https://packagist.org/?type=phpstan-extension

@alister @kelpana @phpstan +1 on PHPStan. As for linting / prettifying we're using https://github.com/easy-coding-standard/easy-coding-standard at my job, seems to work well enough. I think it wraps other tooling but it should make the configuration a nicer experience* 😅

• I haven't actually used e.g. PHP-CS-Fixer in years, so I am not sure it's actually easier to use ecs

@kelpana I'm partial to @psalm for static analysis, though @phpstan is arguably more popular; in particular, I like that any given warning/error links you to an explanation of what causes that category of error, along with common approaches to resolving it.

I use @phpcs for code style enforcement;fixing; if you need just pure linting, php -l does that for you, and as of 8.2 or 8.3, will do multiple files/trees for you.

@mwop @kelpana Happy to see @phpcs being mentioned in that list ;-)

And if you are also looking for a pure PHP linting tool which can process your whole repo in one go and works PHP cross-version, I'd suggest having a look at https://github.com/php-parallel-lint/PHP-Parallel-Lint
