A PHP regex to extract php functions from code files
- by user298593
I'm trying to make a PHP regex to extract functions from php source code. Until now i used a recursive regex to extract everything between {} but then it also matches stuff like if statements. When i use something like:
preg_match_all("/(function .(.))({([^{}]+|(?R))*})/",$this-data,$matches2);
It doesn't work when there is more than 1 function in the file (probably because it uses the 'function' part in the recursiveness too).
Is there any way to do this?
Example file:
<?php
if($useless)
{
echo "i don't want this";
}
function bla($wut)
{
echo "i do want this";
}
?>
Thanks
