Black Duck plans to integrate the SpikeSource products and services into its offerings. The SpikeForge open source projects are being migrated to other forges, and we’re encouraging members of the Developer Zone to join developers on Ohloh.net , Black Duck’s open source project directory and community. As mentioned on the Developer Zone homepage, we will be discontinuing the SpikeSource website and the Developer Zone starting January 9, 2011.

nWire for PHP | PHP Code Analysis Plugin for Eclipse
"nWire enabled me (in real-time) to look at variable related context (reading, changing, inheritance, other files..) in a way I couldn't imagine before. This is really nice if you got 100K+ lines of code without knowing much about it, but must to do something with it. In just few hours one can get understanding of the code relation..."phpCallGraph - A Static Call Graph Generator for PHP
phpCallGraph is a tool to generate static call graphs for PHP source code. Such a graph visualizes the call dependencies among methods or functions of an application. Arrows represent calls from one method to another method.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) and SQL injection (SQLI) vulnerabilities are present in many modern web applications, and are reported continuously on pages such as BugTraq . In the past, finding such vulnerabilities usually involved manual source code audits. Unfortunately, this manual vulnerability search is a very tiresome and error-prone task.

To provide a flexible and extendable software, it is a good OO practice to reduce the dependencies between implementing classes. This could be achieved by developing against abstractions which means both, abstract classes and interfaces. By using abstractions instead of real implementation in the application you provide some sort of contract, that could be used by others to hook into the application with their own classes that fulfill the contract. Except the extensibility of an application a good abstraction reduces the risk of breaks in multiple subsystems when something was changed in a single package. But how to get rid of all these dependencies, doing this by hand will become an impossible job, at least for larger projects.

troelskn/php-tracer-weaver - GitHub
php-tracer-weaver is a tool for analysing parameter types in PHP code, using a combination of static and runtime analysis. It relies on the xdebug extension to trace function calls. The result of the analysis can then be used to generate docblock comments, with the proper type annotations. Usage The basic usage of tracer-weaver is to write a piece of code (If you have unit tests/examples, they would be a good candidate), that utilises the code to manipulate.
Xdebug - Debugger and Profiler Tool for PHP
Xdebug 2.2.0RC2 is out! This is the second release candidate of Xdebug 2.2 which addresses a few things that were found in the first release candidate. The full change log can be found on the updates page and the source code and Windows binaries can be found on the downloads page. Please note that this is a release candidate and not guaranteed to be free of bugs. If you have issues, please file them in the issue tracker .
XHProf is a function-level hierarchical profiler for PHP and has a simple HTML based navigational interface. The raw data collection component is implemented in C (as a PHP extension). The reporting/UI layer is all in PHP. It is capable of reporting function-level inclusive and exclusive wall times, memory usage, CPU times and number of calls for each function. Additionally, it supports ability to compare two runs (hierarchical DIFF reports), or aggregate results from multiple runs.
