PHP_CodeBrowser is a report generator that takes the XML logfiles generated by PHP_CodeSniffer, PHP Copy/Paste Detector, PHPMD, and PHPUnit as well as the sourcecode of the project as its input. The aggregated result of this is a browsable snapshot of the source code annotated with the violations found by these tools.
Example 4-9 shows how to invoke PHP_CodeBrowser from our Apache Ant build script.
