[nycphp-talk] Any PHP Analysis Tools?

I just got a steaming pile of PHP dropped in my lap which - as far as
I can tell - has no classes, 100+ functions, lots of globals, nothing
resembling security and/or input filtering, a rather large user base,
and a hitlist of new requirements/requests.  Help!

Alright, got that out of the way...

Now I'm trying to do some analysis to figure out which functions and
variables are/aren't being used, the general flow of the code, and
some basic metrics.  Something like PMD or Perl::Critic (I think)
would be the ideal, but now I'd just be happy with something beyond my
mediocre grepping skills.

I've dug around and found this -
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.php/msg00038.html
- which doesn't bode well, but I thought maybe someone around here
would know some more...  ideas?
