Very much a work in progress. Currently checks for: - Undefined variables - Properties/methods being called exist - Classes being used in your code exist (instantiation, type-hinting, `instanceof`) - Exception being caught actually exist and are exceptions (`catch (stdClass $e)` will error, for example) - Functions being called actually exist - Methods and functions are called with the correct number of arguments More features to come. Check the Github issues. Installation ------------ [](#installation) On a per-project basis: ``` composer require --dev anlutro/phint:dev-master@dev ./vendor/bin/phint /path/to/src ``` Globally: ``` wget https://files.lutro.me/phint.phar chmod +x phint.phar sudo mv phint.phar /usr/local/bin phint /path/to/src ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Note that you **must** be in your project's root for Phint to run. You also need a composer autoloader to be present in `vendor/autoload.php`. Example output from a simple command run: [![](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/73932a146f1af6772efc04dd2c3781a292feaa56a39c538d56f592797138f5b6/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f65746b6e3167322e706e67)](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/73932a146f1af6772efc04dd2c3781a292feaa56a39c538d56f592797138f5b6/687474703a2f2f692e696d6775722e636f6d2f65746b6e3167322e706e67) You can pass `--strict` or `-s` as an arugment to get more errors. The errors marked as strict are more prone to be wrong, but should be more accurate as time goes on. You can also pass `--debug` or `-d` to get some debug information. Currently this isn't much, unless you hit a fatal error, in which case you might get some more info. By default, if you pass a directory or multiple file paths to the command, Phint will analyze all of them and spit out the errors as it goes along. If you pass `--exit-early` or `-e`, Phint will exit as soon as it finds a file with errors. ### Notes [](#notes) This tool makes some very heavy assumptions about how you're using it and your application. Your project **must** have some sort of autoloader register script present in `vendor/autoload.php`. This autoloader **must** make every class and function in your project available. The checker works best if all the files being checked are classes with methods, nothing more.
