Class Description
ObjectWordParser Like WordParser but designed to handle an array with strings and
phpDocumentorTWordParser Like WordParser, but expects an array of tokens from the tokenizer instead of a string.
Method Summary
void backupPos (string $word)
string getBlock (integer $start, integer $len)
int getPos ()
string getSource ()
string|false getWord ()
void setPos (integer $pos)
void setSeperator (array &$seps)
void setup (string &$input)
void setWhitespace ([boolean $val = false])
Methods
backupPos (line 346)

Backup to the previous token so that it can be retrieved again in a new context.

Occasionally, a word will be passed to an event handler that should be handled by another event handler. This method allows that to happen.

void backupPos (string $word)
  • string $word: token to back up to

Redefined in descendants as:
getBlock (line 305)

Unused

  1. function getBlock($start$len)
  2.     {
  3.         return substr($this->data$start$len);
  4.     }

  • return: the requested block of characters
string getBlock (integer $start, integer $len)
  • integer $start: starting position
  • integer $len: length of block to retrieve
getPos (line 290)

Returns the current pointer position, or 1 character after the end of the word

  • return: the position
int getPos ()
getSource (line 149)

Retrieve source code for the last function/method

string getSource ()

Redefined in descendants as:
getWord (line 206)

Retrieve a token from the token list

The Parser class relies upon this method to retrieve the next token. The $wordseperators array is a collection of strings that delineate tokens for the current parser state. $wordseperators is set by the parser with a call to Parser::configWordParser() every time a new parser state is reached.

For example, while parsing the source code for a class, the word

  1. var
is a token, and
  1. global
is not, but inside a function, the reverse is true. The parser state PARSER_STATE_CLASS has a token list that includes whitespace, code delimiters like ; and {}, and comment/DocBlock indicators

If the whitespace option has been turned off using setWhitespace(), then no whitespace is returned with tokens

{@ is of course the string containing the PHP code to be parsed, and $pos is the cursor, or current location within the parsed data. }}

  • return: the next token, an empty string if there are no token separators in the $wordseperators array, or false if the end of input has been reached
string|false getWord ()

Redefined in descendants as:
setPos (line 330)

Set the internal cursor within the source code

void setPos (integer $pos)
  • integer $pos: the position
setSeperator (line 318)

Sets the list of possible separator tokens

  • uses: $wordseperators
void setSeperator (array &$seps)
  • array &$seps: array of strings that separate tokens
setup (line 132)

Initialize the WordParser

void setup (string &$input)
  • string &$input: source code

Redefined in descendants as:
setWhitespace (line 360)

set parser to return or strip whitespace

void setWhitespace ([boolean $val = false])
  • boolean $val: flag to return or strip whitespace
