PHP Dead Code Detector (PHPDCD)phpdcd is a Dead Code Detector (DCD) for PHP code. It scans a PHP project for all declared functions and methods and reports those as being "dead code" that are not called at least once.
As PHP is a very dynamic programming language, the static analysis performed by phpdcd does not recognize function or method calls that are performed using one of the following language features:
call_user_func()
and call_user_func_array()
new
operator with variable class names$class::method()
$function()
or $object->$method()
__toString()
or Iterator::*()
Also note that infering the type of a variable is limited to type-hinted arguments (function foo(Bar $bar) {}
) and direct object creation ($object = new Clazz
)
The easiest way to obtain PHPDCD is to download a PHP Archive (PHAR) that has all required dependencies of PHPDCD bundled in a single file:
wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpdcd.phar
chmod +x phpdcd.phar
mv phpdcd.phar /usr/local/bin/phpdcd
You can also immediately use the PHAR after you have downloaded it, of course:
wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpdcd.phar
php phpdcd.phar
Simply add a dependency on sebastian/phpdcd
to your project's composer.json
file if you use Composer to manage the dependencies of your project. Here is a minimal example of a composer.json
file that just defines a development-time dependency on PHPDCD:
{
"require-dev": {
"sebastian/phpdcd": "*"
}
}
For a system-wide installation via Composer, you can run:
composer global require 'sebastian/phpdcd=*'
Make sure you have ~/.composer/vendor/bin/
in your path.
