PHP Parser
==========
[](https://coveralls.io/github/nikic/PHP-Parser?branch=master)
This is a PHP parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and
manipulation.
[**Documentation for version 5.x**][doc_master] (current; for running on PHP >= 7.4; for parsing PHP 7.0 to PHP 8.3, with limited support for parsing PHP 5.x).
[Documentation for version 4.x][doc_4_x] (supported; for running on PHP >= 7.0; for parsing PHP 5.2 to PHP 8.3).
Features
--------
The main features provided by this library are:
* Parsing PHP 7, and PHP 8 code into an abstract syntax tree (AST).
* Invalid code can be parsed into a partial AST.
* The AST contains accurate location information.
* Dumping the AST in human-readable form.
* Converting an AST back to PHP code.
* Formatting can be preserved for partially changed ASTs.
* Infrastructure to traverse and modify ASTs.
* Resolution of namespaced names.
* Evaluation of constant expressions.
* Builders to simplify AST construction for code generation.
* Converting an AST into JSON and back.
Quick Start
-----------
Install the library using [composer](https://getcomposer.org):
php composer.phar require nikic/php-parser
Parse some PHP code into an AST and dump the result in human-readable form:
```php
<?php
use PhpParser\Error;
use PhpParser\NodeDumper;
use PhpParser\ParserFactory;
$code = <<<'CODE'
<?php
function test($foo)
{
var_dump($foo);
}
CODE;
$parser = (new ParserFactory())->createForNewestSupportedVersion();
try {
$ast = $parser->parse($code);
} catch (Error $error) {
echo "Parse error: {$error->getMessage()}\n";
return;
}
$dumper = new NodeDumper;
echo $dumper->dump($ast) . "\n";
```
This dumps an AST looking something like this:
```
array(
0: Stmt_Function(
attrGroups: array(
)
byRef: false
name: Identifier(
name: test
)
params: array(
0: Param(
attrGroups: array(
)
flags: 0
type: null
byRef: false
variadic: false
var: Expr_Variable(
name: foo
)
default: null
)
)
returnType: null
stmts: array(
0: Stmt_Expression(
expr: Expr_FuncCall(
name: Name(
name: var_dump
)
args: array(
0: Arg(
name: null
value: Expr_Variable(
name: foo
)
byRef: false
unpack: false
)
)
)
)
)
)
)
```
Let's traverse the AST and perform some kind of modification. For example, drop all function bodies:
```php
use PhpParser\Node;
use PhpParser\Node\Stmt\Function_;
use PhpParser\NodeTraverser;
use PhpParser\NodeVisitorAbstract;
$traverser = new NodeTraverser();
$traverser->addVisitor(new class extends NodeVisitorAbstract {
public function enterNode(Node $node) {
if ($node instanceof Function_) {
// Clean out the function body
$node->stmts = [];
}
}
});
$ast = $traverser->traverse($ast);
echo $dumper->dump($ast) . "\n";
```
This gives us an AST where the `Function_::$stmts` are empty:
```
array(
0: Stmt_Function(
attrGroups: array(
)
byRef: false
name: Identifier(
name: test
)
params: array(
0: Param(
attrGroups: array(
)
type: null
byRef: false
variadic: false
var: Expr_Variable(
name: foo
)
default: null
)
)
returnType: null
stmts: array(
)
)
)
```
Finally, we can convert the new AST back to PHP code:
```php
use PhpParser\PrettyPrinter;
$prettyPrinter = new PrettyPrinter\Standard;
echo $prettyPrinter->prettyPrintFile($ast);
```
This gives us our original code, minus the `var_dump()` call inside the function:
```php
<?php
function test($foo)
{
}
```
