Understanding php static code analysis results


I need an advice. Cant found any information about static code analysis results. For example, i use phploc, and generate report. But it's a good results or a bad i dont know. As I understand what utility I wouldn't have enjoyed report must be the same. After seeing the results, you can solve the bad code or not.

Where i can see info about all lines in this results?

Thanks for help!

All what i found is: Maximum Method Complexity must not be greater then 10. CyclomaticComplexity - 1-4 is low - 5-7 indicates moderate complexity - 8-10 is high complexity - 11+ is very high complexity.

Solution

  • Here are some more sources / links about the metrics , results and info in an old but similar question. If you want more info about mistakes and code smells I would recommand you look intro: PHP_CodeSniffer and PHP_Depend
