PHP App Library Classifier

Analyze and classify PHP libraries used in any project directory with a modern, containerized tool. Outputs structured JSON for easy integration and analysis.

Features

• Automatic library detection for PHP projects
• Structured JSON output
• Dockerized for easy use
• No dependencies on host system
• Fast and efficient analysis

Usage

CLI

php-app-lib-classifier /path/to/php/app [--json] [--verbose]
php-app-lib-classifier version

• /path/to/php/app: Path to the PHP application to analyze.
• --json: Output results in JSON format.
• --verbose: Enable verbose logging.

Docker

docker run --rm -it -v /path/to/your/php/app:/var/www/html ghcr.io/wangyihang/php-app-lib-classifier:main /var/www/html --json

• /path/to/your/php/app: Local path to your PHP application.
• The output will be in JSON format.

Python API

Simple Function Interface (Recommended)

from php_app_lib_classifier import classify, ProjectType, ConfidenceLevel

# Get object result
result = classify("/path/to/php/app")
print(f"Project type: {result.project_type.value}")  # Enum value
print(f"Confidence: {result.get_confidence_level()[0].value}")  # Enum value

# Check specific types
if result.project_type == ProjectType.LIBRARY:
    print("This is a library project")

# Get JSON result
json_result = classify("/path/to/php/app", output_json=True)
print(json_result)

Class Interface

from php_app_lib_classifier import LibraryClassifier

result = LibraryClassifier.classify("/path/to/php/app", output_json=True)
print(result)

• classify(path, output_json=False, verbose=False): Simple function interface to analyze PHP applications and return results
• LibraryClassifier.classify(path, output_json=True): Class interface to analyze PHP applications and return results (optionally as JSON)

Requirements

• Docker

Architecture

• LibraryClassifier: Core logic for detecting and classifying PHP libraries
• CLI Interface: Simple command-line usage via Docker
• JSON Output: Structured results for downstream processing
• Enum Types: Type-safe project types and confidence levels

Enum Types

The library provides Enum types for better type safety:

from php_app_lib_classifier import ProjectType, ConfidenceLevel, ConfidenceColor

# Project types
ProjectType.LIBRARY           # "Library"
ProjectType.WEB_APPLICATION   # "Web Application" 
ProjectType.HYBRID_UNCLEAR    # "Hybrid/Unclear"

# Confidence levels
ConfidenceLevel.HIGH          # "High"
ConfidenceLevel.MEDIUM        # "Medium"
ConfidenceLevel.LOW           # "Low"

• Detection Strategies:
  • Composer dependency analysis
  • File and directory pattern matching
  • Content-based heuristics
