Qodana for PHP
note
Qodana for PHP is currently in Early Access, which means it may be not reliable, work not as intended, and contain errors. Any use of the EAP product is at your own risk. Your feedback is very welcome in our issue tracker or at qodana-support@jetbrains.com.
Qodana for PHP is based on PhpStorm. It brings all the smarts from PhpStorm, which help you:
detect anomalous code and probable bugs
eliminate dead code
highlight spelling problems
improve overall code structure
introduce coding best practices
Upload inspection results to Qodana Cloud
Qodana for PHP provides inspections for PHP, JavaScript, and TypeScript.
Qodana provides two options for local analysis of your code. Qodana CLI is the easiest option to start. Alternatively, you can use the Docker command from the Docker image tab.
Assuming that you have already installed Qodana CLI on your machine, you can run this command in the project root directory:
$qodana scan -l jetbrains/qodana-php:2023.1-eap --show-report
To start, pull the image from Docker Hub (only necessary to get the latest version):
$docker pull jetbrains/qodana-php:2023.1-eap
If you use PHP Composer, Qodana will install your project dependencies automatically right before the code analysis starts.
In case you need to change the language level, add the following to <source-directory>/.idea/php.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project version="4">
<component name="PhpProjectSharedConfiguration" php_language_level="<desired level>" />
</project>
Run the analysis locally:
$docker run --rm -it \ -v <source-directory>/:/data/project/ \ -p 8080:8080 jetbrains/qodana-php:2023.1-eap --show-report
with source-directory
pointing to the root of your project.
Open http://localhost:8080
in your browser to examine inspection results. Here, you can also reconfigure the analysis, see the User interface overview section for details. When done, you can stop the web server by pressing Ctrl-C in the console.
Thanks for your feedback!
