Command Details

phplex scan

This command analyzes your current PHP file using advanced AI models. It detects bugs, potential vulnerabilities, and code smells while suggesting precise improvements to optimize performance and code quality.

phplex comment code

Automatically generates inline comments for your PHP classes, methods, and functions. It explains the purpose, parameters, and expected output, making your code more understandable and maintainable without manual effort.

phplex convert to oop

Convert your legacy or procedural PHP scripts into a clean, modular object-oriented structure. This command helps organize your code into classes and objects following best practices and modern PHP standards.

phplex generate documentation

Produce clear, structured Markdown documentation based on your PHP source file. It includes a file overview, class and method summaries, detailed parameter lists, return types, and example code snippets for easy sharing and onboarding.

phplex create mvc

Quickly scaffold a ready-to-use MVC architecture foundation in your PHP project. This creates sample Model, View, and Controller files, enabling you to focus on building your application logic instead of boilerplate setup.

phplex create service

Generate a service class template designed to separate business logic from controllers and models. This promotes clean code organization, facilitates testing, and enhances application maintainability.

phplex create singleton

Generate a singleton design pattern template ensuring a class is instantiated only once throughout your application lifecycle. Ideal for managing shared resources like database connections or configurations globally.
