PHPMD is a code analysis tool that helps developers identify potential issues in their PHP code by detecting messy, suboptimal, or overly complex code structures. It acts as a companion to PHP_CodeSniffer, focusing on design and logic problems rather than just formatting. PHPMD supports a wide range of rulesets and can be customized to enforce specific coding standards, making it useful for maintaining clean, efficient, and maintainable codebases.

Features

  • Detects unused variables, parameters, and methods
  • Analyzes cyclomatic complexity and excessive class sizes
  • Supports built-in and custom rulesets for code quality
  • Can be integrated into CI/CD pipelines
  • Provides command-line interface for batch analysis
  • Generates reports in formats like XML, JSON, and HTML
