Qodana for PHP

Assuming that you have already installed Qodana CLI on your machine, you can run this command in the project root directory:

$
qodana scan \
   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
   -l jetbrains/qodana-php:2024.1

Here, the QODANA_TOKEN variable refers to the project token.

To start, pull the image from Docker Hub (only necessary to get the latest version):

$
docker pull jetbrains/qodana-php:2024.1

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 \
   -v <source-directory>/:/data/project/ \
   -e QODANA_TOKEN="<cloud-project-token>" \
   jetbrains/qodana-php:2024.1

with source-directory pointing to the root of your project, and QODANA_TOKEN referring to the project token.

In your browser, open Qodana Cloud to examine inspection results. Here, you can also reconfigure the analysis, see the Inspection report section for details.
