Java Forum / General / August 2006PHP Parser for Java..?
OK, I believe I looked enough on the web (google.com, irc.freenode.net, google groups etc. etc.). I can't seem to find a single PHP Parser that I can use in Java. I have downloaded Apache Xerces but I believe it is not relevant (or I'm missing something). Anyway, to make it easier, this is what I want *exactly*: I'm developing a small program that parsers HTML files, gets only the PHP code and tries to recognize all PHP functions that use a PHP library. Example: <html> <?php mysql_connect("localhost","pek","peker"); ?> </html> The program will parse the PHP code, recognize that "mysql_connect(*)" is a function, tries to find in which library the function belongs from an XML file which has a list of libraries and associated functions (this is where Xerces comes) and outputs an array of Strings with these informations: CodeLine, Function, Library etc. I simply need a PHP Parser. Any help/ideas/tips/suggestions/etc..? Thank you for your time. > OK, I believe I looked enough on the web (google.com, irc.freenode.net, > google groups etc. etc.).

Have a look at antlr http://www.antlr.org/ and javacc https://javacc.dev.java.net/ then either toss a coin, take your pick, or try them both.

I think it is unnecessary to create a complete php parser in java just to filter out the functions it contains. A simple ad-hoc algorithm would suffice. Just get all the php blocks from the page, and then use Pattern/Matcher to find all functions it contains by creating a regex. >>> OK, I believe I looked enough on the web (google.com, irc.freenode.net, >>> google groups etc. etc.). >>> I can't seem to find a single PHP Parser that I can use in Java. >>> I have downloaded Apache Xerces but I believe it is not relevant (or >>> I'm missing something). This is not strictly on topic, but there is a php interpreter in Resin. I think it is in open source part, so it might help.

In an upcoming project, I'm going to have to use one of these tools for parsing mathematical expressions, and I have no experience with either of them. I'd be interested in feedback from someone who's used both. Is one significantly better than the other, or is a coin toss in fact as good a way as any for choosing one over the other?

There is a course here at the university to learn how to build a compiler using Antlr. I don't know about javaCC, but Antlr was quite easy to understand and you could very easily create a compiler for a custom language; you only need basic java and (E)BNF knowledge. >> "Matt Rose" <matt.rose.at@gmail.com> wrote on 23 Aug 2006 08:11:40 >> -0700 in comp.lang.java.programmer: [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > easy to understand and you could very easily create a compiler for a > custom language; you only need basic java and (E)BNF knowledge. I've always found JavaCC easy to use (well, as easy as a compiler generator can be...). JavaCC is a top-down recursive descent tool which feels similar to a hand-crafted parser. I believe the best introduction to JavaCC is: http://www.engr.mun.ca/~theo/JavaCC-FAQ/ I've never used ANTLR, but it seems very similar to JavaCC. I must reluctantly concede that ANTLR seems to be better documented. > "Matt Rose" <matt.rose.at@gmail.com> wrote on 23 Aug 2006 08:11:40 > -0700 in comp.lang.java.programmer: [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > both.

AFAIK, the JavaCC community is dead, but ANTLR is still being actively developed, and the lead developer participates on the mailing list and is open to future design suggestions. - Oliver >> "Matt Rose" <matt.rose.at@gmail.com> wrote on 23 Aug 2006 08:11:40 >> -0700 in comp.lang.java.programmer: [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > - Oliver Well, JavaCC is still being developed (e.g. there is the Java 1.5 version). But I agree that it is less "active" than ANTLR. > In an upcoming project, I'm going to have to use one of these tools > for parsing mathematical expressions, and I have no experience with > either of them.

If you're really just parsing mathematical expressions, either is considerable overkill. A tiny recursive-descent parser will be quite adequate. >> In an upcoming project, I'm going to have to use one of these tools >> for parsing mathematical expressions, and I have no experience with [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > considerable overkill.

Try searching on krugle.com, enter 'php parser' in the search box and select Java as the language. the very first hit I got was 'jhp' which after a superficial scan, appears to do something along the lines of what you require. regards maaxiim Free MagazinesGet these publications absolutely FREE for up to 12 months.
