PHP Copy/Paste Detector (PHPCPD)

phpcpd is a Copy/Paste Detector (CPD) for PHP code.

It was originally written and maintained by Sebastian Bergmann, but he does not want to maintain it anymore (which is totally ok, I guess he has his hands full with many other great contributions for the php-community, like phpunit). So I started to work on it.

Installation

This tool is distributed as a PHP Archive (PHAR):

$ wget https://phar.phpunit.de/phpcpd.phar
