php7-checker
============

[](#php7-checker)

**This project is now deprecated in favor of [php7cc](https://github.com/sstalle/php7cc)**.

php7-checker is a PHP library that parses your code and statically detects some errors that could prevent it to run on PHP7.

*Disclamer*: this tool is a static analyzer. As it doesn't run your code it's far from being 100% reliable. If you need to ensure that some code will run on PHP 7, nothing will do a better job than a complete test suite run on the targeted version of PHP. If you want to test it locally (f.e. because your code is not open source), you can still have a look to [JoliCi](https://github.com/jolicode/JoliCi).

Installation
