Executable Statements (PHP) is one of the source-code metrics Understand computes across 17+ languages — browse them in the GUI, export and track them, or script them with the Python API.

Executable Statements (PHP)

API ID: CountStmtExePhp
Languages: Web
Targets: Architectures, Classes, Files, Project

Number of PHP executable statements.

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;

The return statement (6) and the three assignment/output lines ($visits = 1; on 9, $visits = nextVisit($visits); on 10, and the echo statement on 11) are executable, giving CountStmtExePhp = 4.

See Declarative Statements (PHP) for the complementary breakdown, and Executable Statements for the combined count across all languages.
