PHPMD

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
