Our team are new converts from Zend to phpED. One feature in Zend that was pretty key for us, was their Code Analysis Tool which would scan the php and give warnings of potential problems (for example, initialized variables that were never use). It catches a lot of things and if you've ever used the tool, you know how powerful it can be. (note: I'm not talking about syntax error catching which phpED obviously supports).

Just wondering if there's a similar capability in phpED that I'm missing. If not, is this already a planned or wishlist feature?

we already have this in our development plans.

I miss the Code Analysis Tool too and i'm very glad it's been already on the development plan.
