churn-php VS PHP Mess Detector

Churn-php helps to evaluate the complexity of your PHP projects. You can use it to analyze your code and find areas requiring attention. By examining code in each PHP file, it performs critical tasks, such as checking the number of commits and calculating cyclomatic complexity.

Churn-PHP is a tool that helps you discover files in need of refactoring, by calculating a score based on the number of changes and the cyclomatic complexity of files.

PHPMD - PHP Mess Detector: PHPMD is a spin-off project of PHP Depend and aims to be a PHP equivalent of the well known Java tool PMD. PHPMD can be seen as an user friendly frontend application for the raw metrics stream measured by PHP Depend.

PHPMD Mess Detector: PHP Mess Detector PHP Mess Detector identifies potential problems and "code smells" in PHP code. It detects complex code, unused variables, duplicated code blocks, and other issues that may indicate poor code quality. It helps developers refactor and clean up their codebase. Documentation: To explore PHP Mess Detector and understand its usage, refer to the official repository: PHP Mess Detector Repository

While you're at it, also include code-style checkers like phpcs, phpmd and/or php-cs-fixer
