PHP Modeller

This project allows to model the architecture of any PHP application into a Graph database. It supposes you annotate your php files with their corresponding features in your applications.

Once modelled, PHP Modeller will allow you to have a better understanding of the topology of your projects, will give you some useful informations and statistics, like useless namespaces or broken dependencies, but will mainly help you to analyse the impact of a modification in your application, by telling you exactly which features you have to test before publishing a new version.

Installation (Ubuntu) :

Clone the repository into your server directory. Exemple for an apache server :

$ cd /var/www/html
$ sudo git clone https://github.com/WustmannMatthias/PHP-Modeller

Then go to the user interface of PHP-Modeller simply by typing following URL in the URL field of your browser,

$ cd /var/www/html/PHP-Modeller/data/projects
$ git clone <your_project_url>

And if necessary, install additional dependencies (example with composer) :
