Php parser, compiler and interpreter for python

###Executing php code You can execute php code using the pyphp.executer module. The execute_file reads a php file and executes it, while execute_php executes given php code.

• To run a php script:

import pyphp.executer
pyphp.executer.execute_file('my_php_code.php')

my_php_code.php contents:

Hello <?php echo "World\n";?>

• To run php code

import pyphp.executer

phpcode = r'Hello <?php echo "World.\n"; ?>';

pyphp.executer.execute_php(phpcode)

output:

Hello World.

• You can redirect the script's output to any file-like object, such as StringIO

  import pyphp.executer
  import StringIO
  
  stdout = StringIO.StringIO()
  phpcode = r'Hello <?php echo "World.\n"; ?>';
  
  pyphp.executer.execute_php(phpcode, stdout=stdout)
  
  print repr(`stdout.getvalue())

  output:

  'Hello World.\n'
  

• You can run the php file directly by using the module as a script:

   python pyphph/executer.py phpscript.php arg1 arg2 ...

###Using the parser The parser breaks up the php code into a list of tokens.

• This will parse a php file in the same directory and return it as a list of tokens.

import pyphp.parser
token_list = pyphp.parser.parse_file("my_php_code.php")

• You can also parse the php code directly:

import pyphp.parser

phpcode = r'Hello <?php echo "World.\n";?>';

token_list = pyphp.parser.parse_php(phpcode)

• token_list would be a list like this:

[Token['DIRECT_OUTPUT', 'Hello '],
 Token['WS'],
 Token['IDENTIFIER', 'echo'],
 Token['WS'],
 Token['STRING', 'World\n'],
 Token[';']]

this token list can then be fed to the compiler to generate a syntax tree.

###Using the compiler The compiler takes a list of tokens a creates a syntax tree representing the code

• This will compile a php file in the same directory and return it as a syntax tree.

import pyphp.compiler
syntax_tree = pyphp.compiler.compile_file("my_php_code.php")

• You can also compile the php code :

import pyphp.compiler

phpcode = r'Hello <?php echo "World.\n";?>';

syntax_tree = pyphp.compiler.compile_php(phpcode)

• Or compile the list of tokens directly:

import pyphp.parser
import pyphp.compiler

phpcode = r'Hello <?php echo "World.\n";?>';

token_list = pyphp.parser.parse_php(phpcode)

syntax_tree = pyphp.compiler.compile_php(token_list)

• syntax_tree would be a TreeNode object like this:

TreeNode<php_file>[
    TreeNode<direct_output>['Hello '],
    TreeNode<echo>[
        TreeNode<primitive>[
            Token['STRING', 'World\n']
        ]
    ]
]

This `TreeNode` object can then be fed to `execute_php` to run the code.

###PHP Library support Currently, only a minimal set of PHP's language features and built in library is supported, but the plan is to support as most of it as possible.

Language features not supported yet are namespaces, anonymous functions, lots of other stuff.

Below is the official subset of PHP's built in features currently supported.
