README

A local browser UI for PHPStan analysis results. No PHPStan Pro needed.

Installation

composer require --dev felconca/phpstan-ui

Or for local development, add to your project's composer.json:

{
  "repositories": [
    {
      "type": "path",
      "url": "../phpstan-ui"
    }
  ],
  "require-dev": {
    "felconca/phpstan-ui": "*"
  }
}

Usage

Run PHPStan with the ui error formatter:

vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src/ --error-format=ui
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src/ --error-format=ui --level=5
vendor/bin/phpstan analyse src/MyFile.php --error-format=ui

PHPStan runs as normal, then a local PHP server starts at http://localhost:8742 and your browser opens automatically.

Press Ctrl+C in the terminal to stop the server when you're done.

Features

• File tree sidebar with error counts
• Search across files and error messages
• Filter: All / Errors only / Ignorable only
• Sort: by error count or filename
• Expandable file blocks with line numbers
• Identifier tags, tip blocks, ignorable badges
• Zero-dependency — uses PHP built-in server
• Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux

Custom Port

To change the default port (8742), override the service in your phpstan.neon:

services:
    -
        class: PhpstanUi\UiErrorFormatter
        arguments:
            port: 9000
            host: localhost
        tags:
            - phpstan.errorFormatter
