Analyse PHP code with PHPStan via the playground API. Tests across all PHP versions (7.2–8.5) and reports errors grouped by version. Supports configuring level, strict rules, and bleeding edge.
Analyse PHP code using the PHPStan playground API at https://api.phpstan.org/analyse. This runs PHPStan across PHP versions 7.2–8.5 and returns errors for each version.
The code to analyse: $ARGUMENTS
Get the PHP code to analyse. If $ARGUMENTS is a file path, read the file contents. The code must start with <?php.
Unless the user specified otherwise, use these defaults:
"10" (strictest)falsefalsetrueIf the user asked for strict rules or bleeding edge, set those to true.
Submit the code via POST:
curl -s -X POST 'https://api.phpstan.org/analyse' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{
"code": "<PHP code, JSON-escaped>",
"level": "<level>",
"strictRules": <true|false>,
"bleedingEdge": <true|false>,
"treatPhpDocTypesAsCertain": <true|false>,
"saveResult": true
}'
The code value must be properly JSON-escaped (escape quotes, backslashes, newlines).
The response JSON contains:
versionedErrors — array of objects, one per PHP version, each with:
phpVersion — integer encoding: e.g. 80400 = PHP 8.4, 70400 = PHP 7.4errors — array of error objects with message, line, identifier, tip (optional), ignorableid — UUID for the saved resultConvert phpVersion integers to readable strings: Math.floor(v / 10000) . Math.floor((v % 10000) / 100).
Output the results in this format:
https://phpstan.org/r/<id>
Level: <level> | Strict rules: yes/no | Bleeding edge: yes/no
Group consecutive PHP versions that have identical errors (same messages, lines, and identifiers) into ranges. For example, if PHP 7.2–8.3 all report the same errors, show them as one group.
If all PHP versions report identical errors, show a single group:
All PHP versions (no differences):
| Line | Error | Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Parameter #1 $foo expects string, int given. | argument.type |
If errors differ across versions, show separate groups:
PHP 8.0 – 8.5:
| Line | Error | Identifier |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Parameter #1 $foo expects string, int given. | argument.type |
PHP 7.2 – 7.4:
No errors.
If there are no errors on any PHP version, say: No errors found on any PHP version.
