Lines (PHP)

Number of all PHP lines.

Every line of a .php file counts here, from the opening <?php tag onward. Unlike an HTML file's embedded <script> block (see Lines (JavaScript)), markup mixed into a PHP file isn't broken out into a separate HTML or JavaScript count — it's all PHP.

For example:

<?php
// Compute a visitor count for this session
const SITE_NAME = "Understand Demo";

function nextVisit($count) {
  return $count + 1;
}

$visits = 1;
$visits = nextVisit($visits);
echo "You are visitor number " . $visits . " to " . SITE_NAME;

sample.php is 11 lines total, all of which count as PHP (including the opening <?php tag on line 1), giving CountLinePhp = 11.

See Blank Lines (PHP) and Comment Lines (PHP) for the PHP breakdown, and Lines (HTML)/Lines (JavaScript) for the equivalents on an HTML file with an embedded script. See Lines for the language-independent total across the whole file.
