PHP reviews for busy people
summary
Use a 15-minute timebox for quick reviews, run static analysis before you open files and run Exakat weekly to get actionable audits. Choose a small rule set to enforce—start with 7–10 enforced rules—and prioritize issues that are easy to change and frequent. Watch for the classic strpos false==0 bug (appears in roughly 60% of PHP apps). Prefer on-the-fly tools (PHP Inspections/PhpStorm) for fast feedback and CI hooks at commit time to prevent regressions.
