how to check for unused variables/functions in class


I have a large PHP class that has a large variable/function declaration and I wanted to chek if all the variables/functions are being used in the script. Is there something that does this?


Solution

  • The dynamic nature of the PHP language (eval, using variables/functions via strings, etc...) makes it theoretically impossible to programmatically determine if a function or variable is ever used in any and all possible situations.

    Manual code analysis is, unfortunately, your best bet.
