## تفصیل

PHP Compatibility Scanner helps you assess whether your site’s code (plugins and
themes) is likely to run on newer versions of PHP. It performs static analysis using
PHP_CodeSniffer and the PHPCompatibilityWP ruleset to flag code patterns that are
incompatible with the selected target PHP version.

What the plugin does (at a glance):
 – Compares your current runtime PHP (baseline)
to a selected target PHP version (8.0–8.4). – Scans plugins and themes, then highlights
only the new issues that would appear on the target version (the “delta”). – Shows
results in a clear report on the Tools screen and adds small badges on the Plugins
list screen. – Lets you pause, resume, or stop a running scan.

Important limitations of static analysis:
 – Static analysis can miss issues in 
dynamic code paths and can generate false positives. Treat results as guidance, 
not guarantees. Always test site functionality on a staging environment before upgrading
PHP in production.

### Features

 * Select a target PHP version (8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.4)
 * Scan all plugins or select specific ones
 * Scan all themes or select specific ones, with an option to also scan a parent
   if a child theme is selected
 * Pause/Resume/Stop controls for long scans
 * Clear report of only the new issues between baseline (current runtime) and target
 * Plugin list badges showing a quick summary for the last scan

### Privacy

All analysis runs locally on your server. No data is sent to external services by
this plugin.

## انسٹال کرݨ

 1. Install the plugin via Plugins  Add New  Upload Plugin, or place the `bld-php-compatibility-
    checker` folder into `wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Tools  PHP Compatibility Checker.

## ہرہک دے سوال

### What PHP versions can I target?

You can select one of: 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, or 8.4.

### What is the minimum PHP version required to run this plugin?

The plugin requires PHP 7.4+ to run.

### Does this modify my code?

No. It only analyzes code and reports findings.

### Why are there false positives or missing issues?

Static analysis examines code without executing it. Dynamic patterns, conditional
code paths, and environment-specific behavior can cause both false positives and
false negatives. Use the results as guidance and verify on a staging site.

### Does it scan MU-plugins?

No. MU-plugins are intentionally skipped.

### Do I need WP-Cron for scans?

No. Scans advance via AJAX polling while the Tools page is open.
