PHP Lexer and Parser Generator? [closed]

Answer 1

I've ported Jison, a Bison clone in javascript, to php. The results are a killer parser, able to handle very simple and very complex lexing/parsing. It is now part of Jison, but there are a few updates in my fork.

The files are here. See the readme in that page, you create a javascript and php parser at the same time that are capable of doing the same or different things.

It is stable, fast, easy and fun to use.

Answer 2

There is PEG for php https://github.com/hafriedlander/php-peg

Answer 3

There's latest grammar file for PHP 7.4: https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/af12aa8124232b8fb6e96736e1232f6e0d2554e8/Zend/zend_language_parser.y

PHP using re2c parser generator, but as I know its syntax compatible with ANTLR.

Answer 4

I'd propose to give ANTLR a try. ANTLRWorks might be helpful.

I wrote an LL(1) parser generator myself in pure PHP, since I wasn't aware of other PHP-based solutions.
