PHP Quality Tools

Curious about checking out the quality of your PHP project, but don’t know where to start?

https://github.com/jakzal/phpqa is a project providing docker images of various tools to help measure aspects of your PHP code.

docker run --init -it --rm -v "$(pwd):/project" -v "$(pwd)/tmp-phpqa:/tmp" -w /project jakzal/phpqa phploc ./


will run the phploc tool on your current folder

But… you can alias the tool, then simply run

$ phpqa <toolname> <params>

to run any of the tools on any code.

No having to add any new dependencies to your composer, no modifications to existing code.

    Have been needing to programmatically fill out an I9 PDF, retrieved from gov site. Should be fairly straightforward, right? Well… the field names are… a mess. Field names like topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].U\.S\._Social_Security_Number__Last_4_numbers_[0]topmostSubform[0].Page1[0].expiration_date__if_applicable__mm_dd_yyyy[0] topmostSubform[0].Page2[0].Employers_Business_or_Organization_Address_Street_Number_and_Name[0] and so on make it pretty… not straightforward to create a usable key/value combination to search and replace. But… today, I noticed it got…
