pmfstat - PHP's major featureset statistics

Developers of PHP-based applications often face the question which features of the PHP platform they can rely on. Due to the amount of configuration options and features of this open source project this is hard to guess.

pmstat aims at providing a framework which can be used by multiple projects to gather this kind of information by extending popular open source applications with a reporting infrastructure. This started as an experimental project for phpMyFAQ but the idea was implemented in other projects like phpBB.

This project aims at creating a unified code base and a common reporting system.

Currently these implementations are known:

• phpMyFAQ:
  • Data Collection: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/blob/master/phpmyfaq/inc/PMF_Helper/Questionnaire.php#L133
  • Questionaire: https://github.com/thorsten/phpMyFAQ/blob/master/phpmyfaq/install/setup.php#L969
• phpBB:
  • Questionaire: https://github.com/phpbb/phpbb3/tree/develop-olympus/phpBB/includes/questionnaire
  • Data collection server: https://github.com/naderman/stats-o-matic/tree/master/app_server

This project contains the following components:

• Data collection libraries
• A central data collection server
• A reprting GUI (currently XUL-based)
