This is a PHP 5.2 to PHP 7.1 parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and
|
|
manipulation.
|
|
|
|
[**Documentation for version 3.x**][doc_master] (stable; for running on PHP >= 5.5; for parsing PHP 5.2 to PHP 7.1).
|
|
|
|
[Documentation for version 2.x][doc_2_x] (stable; for running on PHP >= 5.4; for parsing PHP 5.2 to PHP 7.0).
|
|
|
|
[Documentation for version 1.x][doc_1_x] (unsupported; for running on PHP >= 5.3; for parsing PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.6).
|
|
|
|
In a Nutshell
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
The parser turns PHP source code into an abstract syntax tree. For example, if you pass the following code into the
|
|
parser:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
<?php
|
|
echo 'Hi', 'World';
|
|
hello\world('foo', 'bar' . 'baz');
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You'll get a syntax tree looking roughly like this:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
array(
|
|
0: Stmt_Echo(
|
|
exprs: array(
|
|
0: Scalar_String(
|
|
value: Hi
|
|
)
|
|
1: Scalar_String(
|
|
value: World
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
1: Expr_FuncCall(
|
|
name: Name(
|
|
parts: array(
|
|
0: hello
|
|
1: world
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
args: array(
|
|
0: Arg(
|
|
value: Scalar_String(
|
|
value: foo
|
|
)
|
|
byRef: false
|
|
)
|
|
1: Arg(
|
|
value: Expr_Concat(
|
|
left: Scalar_String(
|
|
value: bar
|
|
)
|
|
right: Scalar_String(
|
|
value: baz
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
byRef: false
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can then work with this syntax tree, for example to statically analyze the code (e.g. to find
|
|
programming errors or security issues).
|
|
|
|
Additionally, you can convert a syntax tree back to PHP code. This allows you to do code preprocessing
|
|
(like automatedly porting code to older PHP versions).
