token_get_all

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

token_get_allSplit given source into PHP tokens

Descripción

array token_get_all ( string $source )

token_get_all() parses the given source string into PHP language tokens using the Zend engine's lexical scanner.

For a list of parser tokens, see Lista de Identificadores (tokens) del Analizador, or use token_name() to translate a token value into its string representation.

Lista de parámetros

source

The PHP source to parse.

Valores retornados

An array of token identifiers. Each individual token identifier is either a single character (i.e.: ;, ., >, !, etc...), or a three element array containing the token index in element 0, the string content of the original token in element 1 and the line number in element 2.

Ejemplos

Example #1 token_get_all() examples

<?php
$tokens 
token_get_all('<?php echo; ?>'); /* => array(
                                                  array(T_OPEN_TAG, '<?php'), 
                                                  array(T_ECHO, 'echo'),
                                                  ';',
                                                  array(T_CLOSE_TAG, '?>') ); */

/* Note in the following example that the string is parsed as T_INLINE_HTML
   rather than the otherwise expected T_COMMENT (T_ML_COMMENT in PHP <5).
   This is because no open/close tags were used in the "code" provided.
   This would be equivalent to putting a comment outside of <?php ?> tags in a normal file. */
$tokens token_get_all('/* comment */'); // => array(array(T_INLINE_HTML, '/* comment */'));

Rogier, thanks for that fix. This bug still exists in php 5.2.5. I did notice though that it is possible for a notice to pop up from your code. Changing this line:

            $temp[] = $tokens[0][2];

To read this:

            $temp[] = isset($tokens[0][2])?$tokens[0][2]:'unknown';

fixes this notice.

Complementary note to code below:
Note that only the FIRST 2 (or 3, if needed) array elements will be updated.

Since I only encountered incorrect results on the FIRST occurence of T_OPEN_TAG, I wrote this quick fix.
Any other following T_OPEN_TAG are, on my testing system (Apache 2.0.52, PHP 5.0.3), parsed correctly.

So, This function assumes only a possibly incorrect first T_OPEN_TAG.
Also, this function assumes the very first element (and ONLY the first element) of the token array to be the possibly incorrect token.
This effectively translates to the first character of the tokenized source to be the start of a php script opening tag '<', followed by either 'php' OR '%' (ASP_style)

On several PHP versions (pre 5.1), if token_get_all is used, the result will NOT always return the correct result.
This bug will only show (as far as I know) when PHP is loaded as a module. In the CLI the bug seems non-existent.
Related here are bugs 29761 and 34782.
To work around this, here's a fixing function:

<?php
//fixes related bugs: 29761, 34782 => token_get_all returns <?php NOT as T_OPEN_TAG
function token_fix( &$tokens ) {
    if (!
is_array($tokens) || (count($tokens)<2)) {
        return;
    }
  
//return of no fixing needed
   
if (is_array($tokens[0]) && (($tokens[0][0]==T_OPEN_TAG) || ($tokens[0][0]==T_OPEN_TAG_WITH_ECHO)) ) {
        return;
    }
   
//continue
   
$p1 = (is_array($tokens[0])?$tokens[0][1]:$tokens[0]);
   
$p2 = (is_array($tokens[1])?$tokens[1][1]:$tokens[1]);
   
$p3 = '';

    if ((
$p1.$p2 == '<?') || ($p1.$p2 == '<%')) {
       
$type = ($p2=='?')?T_OPEN_TAG:T_OPEN_TAG_WITH_ECHO;
       
$del = 2;
       
//update token type for 3rd part?
       
if (count($tokens)>2) {
           
$p3 = is_array($tokens[2])?$tokens[2][1]:$tokens[2];
           
$del = (($p3=='php') || ($p3=='='))?3:2;
           
$type = ($p3=='=')?T_OPEN_TAG_WITH_ECHO:$type;
        }
       
//rebuild erroneous token
       
$temp = array($type, $p1.$p2.$p3);
        if (
version_compare(phpversion(), '5.2.2', '<' )===false) {
           
$temp[] = $token[0][2];
        }
       
//rebuild
       
$tokens[1] = '';
        if (
$del==3) $tokens[2]='';
       
$tokens[0] = $temp;
    }
    return;
}

Well, there is a way to parse for errors. See
http://www.php.net/manual/function.php-check-syntax.php#77318

As far as I am aware, there is no way to tell if the source code passed is free of parse errors.

You might come across such a situation when you're using PHP to analyze PHP source code.

In a case like this.. You'll get a warning similar to (but varying) Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1

If it doesn't matter to you that the source is free of parse errors, use @token_get_all($source) to suppress the error.

Regarding bertrand at toggg dot com's comment:  there is another case of the { } curly braces being used in PHP, but the token_get_all() function treats it just like a code block: string index.  Example:

<?php
$text
= "Hello";
if (
$text{ 0 } == 'H') {
    echo
"This example uses { for both a PHP block and a string index.";
}
?>

Just in case some people were wondering.  Since PHP treats them as the same token, it makes some things a little more interesting for parsing.  You can't just assume that { ... } is a code block, it could just be a number referring to an index of a string.

If you want to retrieve the PHP blocks then you will count up the opening curly braces '{' and down the closing ones '}' (counter zero means block finished)
CAUTION: the opening curly braces token can take 3 values:
1) '{' for all PHP code blocks,
2) T_CURLY_OPEN for "protected" variables within strings as "{$var}"
3) T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES for extended format "${var}"

On the other hand, closing token is allways '}' !

So counting up must take place on the 3 tokens:
'{' , T_CURLY_OPEN and T_DOLLAR_OPEN_CURLY_BRACES

Have fun with PHP tokenizer !

You may want to know the line and column number at which a token begins (or ends). Since this tokenizer interface doesn't provide that information, you have to track it manually, like below:

<?php
function update_line_and_column_positions($c, &$line, &$col)
{
   
// update line count
   
$numNewLines = substr_count($c, "\n");
    if (
1 <= $numNewLines) {
       
// have new lines, add them in
       
$line += $numNewLines;
       
$col  1;

       
// skip to right past the last new line, as it won't affect the column position
       
$c = substr($c, strrpos($c, "\n") + 1);
        if (
$c === false) {
           
$c = '';
        }
    }

   
// update column count
   
$col += strlen($c);
}

?>

Now use it, something like:

<?php

$line
= 1;
$col  = 1;
foreach (
$tokens as $token) {
    if (
is_array($token)) {
        list (
$token, $text) = $token;
    } else if (
is_string($token)) {
       
$text = $token;
    }

   
update_line_and_column_positions($text, $line, $col);
}

?>

Note this assumes that your desired coordinate system is 1-based (eg (1,1) is the upper left). Zero-based is left as an exercise for the reader.

This function parses PHP code.  Here's an example of it's use.
<?
    $code = '<?$a = 3;?>';

    foreach(token_get_all($code) as $c)
    {
        if(is_array($c))
        {
            print(token_name($c[0]) . ": '" . htmlentities($c[1]) . "'\n");
        }
        else
        {
            print("$c\n");
        }
    }
?>
