Is there another way to check syntax of PHP files used by the wiki ?

It was a development tool that we didn't need to use anymore because our continuous integration pipeline does that now. If you want to check PHP file syntax, use php -l.

Thank you for explaining. I might point out that many people don't always have the resources you might. It's a useful tool. How would I download and run your continuous integration pipleline as I only have a stock Linux box with very limited internet, unless I go to the University ?

php -l. On a side note, this script was intended for MediaWiki developers, other target auditories were never the goal. If you want to continue using it, it's still in Git history.
