Return to the PHP Code and Syntax Checker

About PHP Code Checker

PHPCodeChecker.com was built out of frustration for silly mistakes. I make them, and even programmers I knew that were being paid high 5 figures were making silly mistakes. These included many mistakes that an IDE would not catch. Thus, I gathered up the most common mistakes I've made, focusing on mistakes that wouldn't be caught by an IDE to ensure it would add value for everyone. I wrote about the confusing PHP errors generated and how to interpret them on my PHP book blog, and it was really helpful in finding many of the quirks worth checking.

Finally, I designed it to be very fast, simple, and powerful. I was inspired by the very straight-forward nature of RegExPal.com, which is a much better website and incredibly powerful (and useful).

Why is it Free?

If you want to pay for it, consider buying my PHP book. It makes no sense to charge for the service. There are around 300 unique visitors per day for this syntax checker, so even if it could be monetized, it would barely generate any income. Besides, it wouldn't load as quickly if there were ads.
