Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Get the value of PHP variable and constant

Readme

Php Var Parser

Version Documentation License: MIT

Get the value of PHP variable and constant

Only regex are used to parse the data, so it can give false result (excpecialy with complex string)

Parse the code content, searching for the provided variables, using regex. Variables should be in the form: { var1: 'type', var2: 'type'} Where type is one of: 'number', 'string', 'boolean', 'array', 'array_assoc', 'definedConstant', 'constant', 'variable'. Note that constant means that t the variable searched is assigned a constant (Eg. $var = CONSTANT) To search for a constant, use 'definedConstant' (Eg. define('CONSTANT', 'value')) If no type is provided the parser will try to guess the type, but is slow and dangerous If provided the suffix will be added to the variable name, remember to double escape special characters (Eg. "\\$") For arrays, only work with square brackets arrays syntax, not with array() syntax. The intended use is only for parsing simple configuration file, where you now how the code you are parsing should look like. No check are done on the ouput!

Do not use this library in a production environment!

Given this code:

$myVar = 1;
$foo = 'bar';
$bar = true;
$foo->bar = 'Hello "word"!';
$foo->baz = 'Hi, \'word\'';
$baz = $foo;
define('FOO', 123);
const BAR = 456;
$arr = [1,2,"3"];
$arr_assoc = [1 => 1, 2 => 2, 3 => "3"];

will output like this:

import PhpVarParser from 'PhpVarParser';
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'myVar': 'number'})
// { myVar: '1' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'foo': 'string'})
// { foo: 'bar' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'bar': 'boolean'})
// { bar: 'true' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'FOO': 'definedConstant'}, '')
// { FOO: '123' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'BAR': 'number'}, 'const ')
// { BAR: '456' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'foo->bar': 'string'})
// { 'foo->bar': 'Hello "word"!' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'bar':'string', 'baz':'string'}, '\\$foo->')
// { bar: 'Hello "word"!', baz: "Hi, \\'word\\'" }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'baz':'variable', 'foo':'string'}, '\\$', true)
// { baz: 'bar', foo: 'bar' }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'arr': 'array'})
// { arr: [1,2,"3"] }
PhpVarParser.parse(php, {'arr_assoc': 'array_assoc'})
// { arr_assoc: {"1": 1, "2": 2, "3": "3"} }
