<p>PHP Compatibility Scanner helps you assess whether your site’s code (plugins and themes) is likely to run on newer versions of PHP. It performs static analysis using PHP_CodeSniffer and the PHPCompatibilityWP ruleset to flag code patterns that are incompatible with the selected target PHP version.</p>
<p>What the plugin does (at a glance):<br />
– Compares your current runtime PHP (baseline) to a selected target PHP version (8.0–8.4).<br />
– Scans plugins and themes, then highlights only the new issues that would appear on the target version (the “delta”).<br />
– Shows results in a clear report on the Tools screen and adds small badges on the Plugins list screen.<br />
– Lets you pause, resume, or stop a running scan.</p>
<p>Important limitations of static analysis:<br />
– Static analysis can miss issues in dynamic code paths and can generate false positives. Treat results as guidance, not guarantees. Always test site functionality on a staging environment before upgrading PHP in production.</p>
