Abstract
Currently PHP is the most widely used web programming language for websites [1]; however there seems to be a limited availability of debugging tools that a novice programmer can use. In this work, we propose a framework to identify logic errors committed by novice PHP programmers and prototype application to automate the process of detecting such errors. The aim is to develop a tool that may be used to assist novice programmers in their learning process, and contribute to computer science education research.
