Phantm: PHP analyzer for type mismatch

We present Phantm, a static analyzer that uses a flowsensitive analysis to detect type errors in PHP applications. Phantm can infer types for nested arrays, and can leverage runtime information and procedure summaries for more precise results. Phantm found over 200 true problems when applied to three applications with over 50'000 lines of code, including the popular DokuWiki code base. Categories and Subject Descriptors: D.2.4 [Software Engineering]: Software/Program Verification; F.3.1 [Logics and Meaning of Programs]: Specifying and Verifying and Reasoning about Programs General Terms: Languages, Reliability, Verification
