## What it is
A command-line tool that scans a php.ini file against common security best practices and reports pass/fail results per setting. It is installable via Composer or as a Phar and returns exit codes suitable for CI pipelines.

## Use cases
- audit php.ini for insecure settings
- check PHP configuration security best practices
- harden PHP session and error settings
- add php.ini security checks to CI
- find misconfigured PHP directives before deployment

## When to choose
- you run PHP and want a quick automated config security audit
- you want exit-code-based checks in a build pipeline
- you need a lightweight Composer-installable scanner

## When to avoid
- you need full application code vulnerability scanning (use a SAST tool)
- you are not working with PHP
- you need actively developed features or recent PHP version coverage

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, vulnerability-scanning, configuration-management, cli
- domain: security, developer-tools
- platform: cli, php, windows
- tags: php-ini, security-audit, hardening, composer, command-line, linux, macos
