PHP 7 MAR, or just "php7mar", is a command line utility to generate reports on existing PHP 5 code to assist developers in porting their code quickly to PHP 7. It will run against invididual files or entire project folders. Reports contain line numbers, issues noted, and suggested fixes along with documentation links. No, php7mar does implement a full lexer to determine code changes and can not determine the intent of the code. It uses lexer tokenizing, string matching, and regular expressions to find syntax changes that may cause issues when porting code to PHP 7. As well, it will detect code snippets in comments and report them as it can not distinguish it as commented code. If you are currently unfamiliar with what will change moving to PHP 7 then read the UPGRADING file in the current master branch of php-src. Understanding these changes is important to reading the reports generated by php7mar. Very poorly styled code will not parse well, but assuming there is at least some structure to the code style it should still parse. If the code is entirely too poorly formatted there are several web sites that can be used to clean up source code.
