PHP Mess Detector

Another tool for maintaining and control PHP sourcecode is PHPMD – PHP Mess Detector. A spin-off project of PHP Depend:

What PHPMD does is: It takes a given PHP source code base and look for several potential problems within that source. These problems can be things like:

• Possible bugs
• Suboptimal code
• Overcomplicated expressions
• Unused parameters, methods, properties

PHPMD is currently in an early development stage and so it only provides a limited set of pre defined rules that detect bad smells within the analyzed source code.

I know I’m lazy and copied a lot of text over from the homepage but it’s already early and I think this is worth to share.
