PHPMD

Developed on top of PHP_Depend, it is a port of Java's PMD tool, a class which scans Java source code and looks for potential problems.

When scanning PHP source, PHPMD looks for possible bugs, suboptimal code, overcomplicated expressions and unused parameters, methods  and properties.

PHPMD is available as a PEAR package and PHAR archive.
