/**
 * Recursively tests a directory for bad PHP files.
 * Run from the command line only.
 *
 * WARNING: some hosts disable paramters necessary to run PHP from the 
 * command-line, e.g. $argv, etc.  Other servers use different versions
 * of PHP on the command-line (vs. on the web).  These behaviors may 
 * result in false-positives (e.g. syntaxes supported in one version, but
 * not in another), or they may prevent you from running this script entirely.
 * If needed, edit this file and set the $dir variable directly.
 *
 * USAGE:
 *
 *  php sniff.php /path/to/dir
