Static analysis and optimization of PHP code
Discover the quality of your code with PHP Insights!
What is PHP Insights and how does static code analysis work?
PHP Insights is an advanced tool for static analysis of PHP code that helps optimize code and improve its readability. Static code analysis involves evaluating the source code without executing it, which enables the identification of errors, non-compliance with standards, and security risks at an early stage of software development.
It analyzes code in terms of structure, errors, coding standards, and performance. This allows developers to detect problems faster and implement code refactoring.
The importance of readability and simplicity in code
Code readability is extremely important because programs are read more often than they are written. Clean code should be as simple and understandable as possible, which not only makes teamwork easier but also helps in quickly identifying and fixing bugs.
Using clear variable and function names, avoiding overly complex constructions, and adding comments only where truly necessary are the main ways to improve code readability. This way, any developer, regardless of experience, can easily understand and modify the code, which is crucial for maintaining high code quality in long-term projects.
PHP code analysis – a detailed overview of charts and metrics
Code analysis for each chapter of the e-book
Each chapter of the e-book focuses on a specific aspect of PHP, and dynamic analysis allows you to check code quality in that area. For example:
-
Chapter 7 – DBAL: Database Schema analyzes the quality of code related to defining database structures.
-
Chapter 10 – DBAL: ORM checks the correctness of ORM code and entity management.
-
Chapter 16 – Views focuses on readability and organization of PHP template view code.
The analysis covers four aspects of code shown in bar charts:
- The analysis covers four aspects of code shown in bar charts:
- Style – defines compliance with coding standards and syntax readability.
- Quality – analyzes code correctness in terms of errors and potential logical issues.
- Structure – evaluates code organization, modularity, and adherence to SOLID principles.
Next to the main code quality score, there are two pie charts showing the structure of PHP code broken down into specific elements:
- Architecture analysis (number of files) – shows how the project’s code components are distributed.
- Code structure analysis – shows how well the code is documented.
Colors on the charts correspond to different code types, making it easier to identify dominant elements and detect problematic areas.
