## Useful for

- Check a site's PHP version via HTTP headers before an audit
- Run a local php -v check on a server via phpcheck-server
- Integrate the check into CI using --json output and exit codes

## Why it’s here

- Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-22 (UTC), 00:37–04:07: 385 → 493 stars (+108). This is the change over that interval.
- Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +532 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
- The repository is 1 day old and already has 493 stars. With less than two weeks of history, there's no usual pace to compare the spike against yet.
- Top new repositories this week: #32.
- About 53 forks a day — people are taking the code.

## Star trust

Star growth looks organic.

Star-trust labels are heuristics based on the repository’s behavior, not a check of every stargazer.

## Numbers

- Forks: 36
- Issues and pull requests: 12
- Watchers: 2
- Average over the last week: 516 per day
- Usual pace: too little history (under two weeks)
- Stars in the last hour (measured): 33

## Stars per day, last 2 days (oldest → newest, today is partial)

2026-10-21 … 2026-10-22: 499, 108

## Magnitude by day, last 2 days

10-21 4.1, 10-22 7.2

Magnitude (0–10) measures how fast and how unusually interest in a repository is growing right now. It is not a quality score.
Days are UTC. “So far today” is a fact; “expected by the end of the day” is a forecast.
Summaries and use cases are written by an LLM (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash) from the README and may be inaccurate: verify specific claims (benchmarks, speed, hardware) in the repository itself.
