## What it is
PHPLOC is a command-line tool that quickly measures the size of a PHP project, reporting lines of code, comment ratios, and cyclomatic complexity. It is distributed as a PHAR archive, but the project is no longer maintained and its repository is archived.

## Use cases
- measure lines of code in a php project
- count comment vs non-comment lines in a codebase
- get cyclomatic complexity statistics for php classes and functions
- estimate the size of a legacy php codebase
- generate quick codebase metrics for a report

## When to choose
- you need a fast, zero-config LOC and complexity snapshot of a PHP project
- you are okay using an unmaintained but stable tool

## When to avoid
- you need actively maintained tooling or support for the latest PHP syntax
- you need in-depth static analysis beyond size metrics
- you want CI-integrated quality gates with ongoing updates

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: abandoned
- function: developer-tools, cli, analytics
- domain: developer-tools
- platform: php, cli, cross-platform
- tags: code-metrics, lines-of-code, php, archived, cyclomatic-complexity, command-line, static-analysis
