token_get_all Split given source into PHP tokens arraytoken_get_all stringsource token_get_all parses the given source string into PHP language tokens using the Zend engine's lexical scanner. The function returns an array of token identifiers. Each individual token identifier is either a single character (i.e.: ;, ., >, !, etc...), or a two element array containing the token index in element 0, and the string content of the original token in element 1. For a list of parser tokens, see , or use token_name to translate a token value into its string representation. array(array(T_OPEN_TAG, ''); /* => array( array(T_OPEN_TAG, '') ); */ /* Note in the following example that the string is parsed as T_INLINE_HTML rather than the otherwise expected T_ML_COMMENT. This is because no open/close tags were used in the "code" provided. This would be equivalent to putting a comment outside of tags in a normal file. */ $tokens = token_get_all('/* comment */'); // => array(array(T_INLINE_HTML, '/* comment */')); ?> ]]>
