Wez Furlong's Blog:
parser and lexer generators for PHP
Nov 27, 2006 @ 15:34:00

When finding he was in need of a parser and lexer, Wez Furlong decided to work up one that was PHP-based and a take off of the popular lemon parser and JLex lexer.

From time to time, I find that I need to put a parser together. Most of the time I find that I need to do this in C for performance, but other times I just want something convenient, like PHP, and have been out of luck.

His result is two new packages - lemon-php and JLexPHP (under a BSDish license) you can download and compile on your own system.

Also, if you'll remember a while back, Greg Beaver had wanted something similar (as mentioned in the comments) and created his own lexer/generator as well.
