PHP already provides this type of tool per command line, one can test the "code quality" per command line:

php -l <fileName>

An example in Windows would be:

D:\wamp\php\php.exe -l "D:\wamp\www\arquivo.php"

In addition to this tool there are other ways to do this as it is answered in Soen:

  1. PHP Metrics - Features an overview and overall quality charts, according to different metrics such as Index Maintainability, Halstead metrics, Coupling or Cyclomatic complexity.
  2. PHP Code Sniffer - Basically ensures that the PHP code complies with the standard. You can write your own "default".
  3. PHP Unit or atoum - Unit Testing (unit tests/Unit are tests for small parts of code).
  4. PHP Project Mess Detector - N-Path and other complex analyses to determine the complexity of parts of the code.
  5. PHP Depend - Perform static code analysis on a given base structure (this structure is usually called an AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)).
  6. Scrutinizerci (https://github.com/scrutinizer-ci) - List of tools described above

There is also a simple tool called Phplint and can be tested online, the problem is that for newer versions of PHP and phpDocumentor it has proven outdated, but is still useful for simpler testing.
