Plugin Check is a validation tool for PHP developers (and a quality checker for end users) to locate undefined functions and methods.

== Description ==

*Plugin Check* is a developer tool. It scans the plugin or application you specify (or upload) and determines whether you have undefined functions or methods in it.

PHP is not a compiled language. It looks for functions during runtime. So if you have a segment of code not covered by your normal testing, and you have an undefined function in there, you will never know of the undefined function until it hits production when the particular conditions activating that particular code segment are met. This tool will prove especially useful during large scale refactoring, or while quality checking for submission to sites like CodeCanyon.

In addition to doing a static analysis of the plugin, *Plugin Check* can also run all the automatic checks if Theme Check, if it is installed and activated on your blog. Note, however, that some of the output may be misleading because Theme Check is written to check themes. The [Pro version](http://buy.thulasidas.com/plugin-check "Plugin Check -- quality control for your plugins, $5.95") uses automated checks that are appropriate to plugins, including a `readme.txt` validator.

Please visit this fully operational [live demo site](http://demo.thulasidas.com/plugin-check "Play with Plugin Check Pro") to see it in action, (and to check your code without installing it locally).*
** Note that the demo shows the Pro version of the plugin.**
