PHP Parser written in Go

This project uses goyacc and golex libraries to parse PHP sources into AST. It can be used to write static analysis, refactoring, metrics, code style formatting tools.

Try it online: demo

Features:

• Fully support PHP 5 and PHP 7 syntax
• Abstract syntax tree (AST) representation
• Traversing AST
• Resolving namespaced names
• Parsing syntax-invalid PHP files
• Saving and printing free-floating comments and whitespaces

Who Uses

VKCOM/noverify - NoVerify is a pretty fast linter for PHP

Usage example

package main

import (
	"fmt"
	"bytes"
	"os"

	"github.com/z7zmey/php-parser/php7"
	"github.com/z7zmey/php-parser/visitor"
)

func main() {
	src := bytes.NewBufferString(`<? echo "Hello world";`)

	parser := php7.NewParser(src, "example.php")
	parser.Parse()

	for _, e := range parser.GetErrors() {
		fmt.Println(e)
	}

	visitor := visitor.Dumper{
		Writer:    os.Stdout,
		Indent:    "",
		Comments:  parser.GetComments(),
		Positions: parser.GetPositions(),
	}

	rootNode := parser.GetRootNode()
	rootNode.Walk(visitor)
}

Roadmap

• Control Flow Graph (CFG)
• PhpDocComment parser
• Stabilize api

Dump AST to stdout.

Namespace resolver

Namespace resolver is a visitor that resolves nodes fully qualified name and saves into map[node.Node]string structure

• For Class, Interface, Trait, Function, Constant nodes it saves name with current namespace.
• For Name, Relative, FullyQualified nodes it resolves use aliases and saves a fully qualified name.
