PHP Version Finder
Find what version of PHP your script requires. FremontTech has just started selling scripts online. When asked what version of PHP is required to run our scripts we didn’t have a definitive answer. We created this script to determine the PHP version, and then we took it to another level by seeking out deprecated functions. But we didn’t stop just at that. We included PHP Extensions and language constructs. We almost called it good at that, but then we wondered… how many times we used these functions. Excessive use of the same function can be degrading on performance. Monitoring how many times a function is used can help determine if a “User Created Function” can be created to reduce code and increase performance.
Detection
PHP Version Finder tracks: 3044 PHP Functions, 2260 PHP Extensions, 23 Language Constructs, 19 Alternative Suggestions, 7 Tips/Tricks/Notes. (plus 69 Experimental, 20 Deprecated, 47 “svn” functions)
The code does NOT have to be complete nor functioning. It does not even have to make sense. As long as it is between <?php and ?> it will be evaluated.
Stop Guessing!
Truth be told – most developers “ball-park” what version of PHP is required by recalling a few “key” functions they used. With PHP Version Finder you can know for sure what PHP version is actually required!
Deprecated Detection
PHP Version Finder lets you know if any functions you used are deprecated.
Two Versions
The PHP Version Finder does NOT require a database. However, for those of you who would rather use a database, the script does include a database version.
Why Two Versions?
It all comes down to numbers. If there are lots of PHP functions, the NON database version is faster. If there are only a few functions, the database version is faster. How much faster? Well, it’s measured in micro seconds. So not really noticeable. After we made the database version we decided it was not worth the effort as its performance was not noticeable different. We decided to include it because it was already built – a freebie if you like.
Installation
Installation is simple. Upload the directory, edit two settings and you’re done.
Inputs
You can upload a file from your computer, scan a file or entire directory on the server, or paste code in a box for processing.
Alternative Suggestions
If PHP Version Finder finds functions that are deprecated, it will give you alternative suggestions that could replace the deprecated function.
For Example:
if you use file_put_contents (which requires PHP 5 ), PHP Version Finder will let you know that you could use fwrite instead which could lower the required version down to PHP 4 . Not only that, but there is a note attached to file_put_contents that shows you the code to use to make file_put_contents backwards compatible.
