Language parser library written in PHP
This is not a complete list, if you're looking for PHP runtime lexer/parsers, one exceptional project is Phlexy by NikiC.
You can find a use-case inside PHP-Parser as well written by him. That is a parser for the PHP language with an abstract syntax tree (AST), partially generated from a grammar file.
I never managed it to get that far yet, from my own research over the years, there are not many such projects in PHP userspace, and these two libraries from NikiC are really a very good example.
If you're looking for a lexer that follows more the flex rules, I have written one in XDOM that lexes CSS selector syntax, it's also with a parser but the parser is not based on a grammar file even though it exists in the CSS specs. The lexer is based on a .lex file.
Supposedly php has a library to do a lexer/parser:http://php.net/manual/en/parle.examples.phpFor Windows, looks like you can grab a pre-compiled binary.http://php.net/manual/en/parle.installation.php says versions available here: http://windows.php.net/downloads/pecl/releases/parle/
