Static analyzers for different languages detect different types of errors. A static analyzer for PHP may try to find type mismatches. For statically typed languages that's obviously not relevant, as the compiler already handles it. On the other hand, a static analyzer for C may try to find use-after-free bugs. For PHP that in return is not relevant, as the compiler/runtime handles it already. While some compilers do ship with static analysis components (e.g. Clang), static analyzers are usually distinct from compilers. Doesn't matter it for static or dynamic languages.
