This command-line maintenance script checks source files for syntax errors and common coding mistakes, such as byte order marks, pointless PHP closing tags (?>) at the end of file and whitespace before the opening tag (<?php).
Usage [edit]
If called without arguments, checkSyntax.php scans through main code directories (/includes/, /config/, /languages/, /maintenance/ and /skins/) and, if they exist, checks configuration files LocalSettings.php and AdminSettings.php. For example:
Command-line options:
- --with-extensions
- also scan the /extensions/ directory.
- --path <path to check>
- check the given file or directory.
- --list-file <filename>
- check only files or directories listed in the given text file.
- --modified
- check only files modified in the current working copy (requires that the script is run from a Git clone and that the Git command-line client is present. Use this option to quickly check your changes before committing them to your repository.
