WhatTheWhat PHP clone
=====================

[](#whatthewhat-php-clone)

[![Build Status](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/0da4ab1be043cb40c444676fcfe4a08dcce5b8700c4fe628ed466b7e90f1318e/68747470733a2f2f7472617669732d63692e6f72672f787369737431302f7774772e706e673f6272616e63683d6d6173746572)](https://travis-ci.org/xsist10/wtw)

A PHP clone of [WhatTheWhat](https://github.com/dhellmann/whatthewhat).

Flavours
========

[](#flavours)

Inline
------

[](#inline)

This script loads the WhatTheWhat checker inline with your code so you can set levels on what kind of errors you're looking for. This can cause problems with code conflicts or autoloading issues.

Dump
----

[](#dump)

This script takes the standard error of the script and checks that. No chance of code conflicts but does not have the refined control of the inline version.
