Parse PHP code from NodeJS and convert it to AST. This library is a standalone module of a larger project named Glayzzle.

$ npm install php-parser --save

$ cd bin
$ node test.js -e "echo 'Hello World';"

Will output :

*** START TESTING ***

-- TOKENS :
T_ECHO T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING ;
-- AST :
[ 'program',
  [ [ 'sys',
      'echo',
      [ [ 'string', '"Hello World"' ] ] ] ] ]

var parser = require('php-parser');
var AST = parser.parseEval('echo "Hello World";');
console.log(AST);

If you want to change/fix the lexer you will find code to ./src/lexer/. Do not change dirrectly ./src/lexer.js or ./src/tokens.js, they are generated with the command npm run build

You can also implement the parser, the code is into ./src/parser/. To check your changes add tests into ./test/parser/, and run npm run test. Try to keep or improve the coverage levels.

The command line options :

Usage: test [options] [-f] <file>

  -f <file>                      Parse and test the specified file
  -d <path>                      Parse each file in the specified path
  -r                             Use recursivity with the specified path
  -e                             Eval the specified input and shows AST
  -v                             Enable verbose mode and show debug
  -h, --help                     Print help and exit

If you run into problems with a test, run it with the cli and add the --debug flag.

Current version is under developpement, all tokens are not yet implemented, but consider that the lexer sucessfully pass the parsing of ZF2 and Laravel, and many aspects of php are implemented.
