How to parse phpDoc style comment block with php?
- by Reveller
Please consider the following code with which I'm trying to parse only the first phpDoc style comment (noy using any other libraries) in a file (file contents put in $data variable for testing purposes):
$data = "
/**
* @file A lot of info about this file
* Could even continue on the next line
* @author [email protected]
* @version 2010-05-01
* @todo do stuff...
*/
/**
* Comment bij functie bar()
* @param Array met dingen
*/
function bar($baz) {
echo $baz;
}
";
$data = trim(preg_replace('/\r?\n *\* */', ' ', $data));
preg_match_all('/@([a-z]+)\s+(.*?)\s*(?=$|@[a-z]+\s)/s', $data, $matches);
$info = array_combine($matches[1], $matches[2]);
print_r($info)
This almose works, except for the fact that everything after @todo (including the bar() comment block and code) is considered the value of @todo:
Array (
[file] => A lot of info about this file Could even continue on the next line
[author] => [email protected]
[version] => 2010-05-01
[todo] => do stuff... /
/** Comment bij functie bar()
[param] => Array met dingen /
function bar() {
echo ;
}
)
How does my code need to be altered so that only the first comment block is being parsed (in other words: parsing should stop after the first "*/" encountered?
