PHPCompatibility is a coding standard for PHP_CodeSniffer that helps developers check PHP source code for cross-version compatibility.
It’s useful for maintaining libraries and applications that need to run across different PHP releases, or for identifying issues before upgrading code to a newer PHP version.
This is free and open source software.
