web-php VS PHP Mess Detector

Some of the references: https://github.com/php/web-php/pull/602 - redesign the PHP home page, to make it look more up-to-date with UI/UX trends. https://wiki.php.net/rfc/auto-capture-closure - Short Closures 2.0 https://thephp.foundation/blog/2022/06/30/php-core-roundup-3/ - Detailed report on progress from PHP-foundation collective

I love this idea, and I'm tempting to contribute. I think first of all we need an open database with all manual entries with their initial version, deprecated version and removed version. We also need for all extension based manual entries a field indicating the name of the extension and/or whether they are enabled by default. Using https://github.com/php/web-php we can do a local extraction of this informtion. The UI and search algorithm are less interesting to me, but what you've made seems fine to me.

If you're interested in seeing if you can improve the search facility, the PHP website source is available at https://github.com/php/web-php - the search facility is in search.php and results.php in the repository root. The autocomplete suggestions are controlled by js/search.js. It looks like some related files may also be in the manual/en directory.

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

PHP Mess Detector is a multi-faceted static analysis PHP Tool based on PHP Depend. The kind of problems detected by PHPMD are divided into 5 main categories:
