phan: Analyze one or more directories.
$ phan --directory ${path-to-directory} --directory ${path-to-another_directory}
try on your machine

This command is using the "phan" tool and its associated options to analyze PHP code files within two directories.

Here is a breakdown of the command:

  1. phan: This is the name of the actual command or tool being executed. It refers to the "phan" tool, which is a static analysis tool for PHP code.

  2. --directory: This option is used to specify the directories that contain the PHP code files you want to analyze. It is followed by the path to the directory you want to analyze.

  • ${path-to-directory}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the first directory you want to analyze. You should replace ${path-to-directory} with the correct path to the desired directory.
  1. --directory: This option is used to specify an additional directory that you want to include in the analysis. It is followed by the path to another directory.
  • ${path-to-another_directory}: This is a placeholder for the actual path to the second directory you want to analyze. You should replace ${path-to-another_directory} with the correct path to the desired directory.

By including multiple --directory options, you can analyze multiple directories using the same "phan" command.

Overall, this command is instructing the "phan" tool to analyze the PHP code files found within the specified directories, one by one.
