Nikita Popov 8b64195cf2 Try .17G print if .16G is not enough
This should be enough for all cases, because: A double has 53 bits
of mantissa (including the implicit 1 bit), which is 53*ln(2)/ln(10)
= 15.95 decimal digits. However the leading decimal digit may encode
less than the usual 3.32 bits, which will push this over the edge to
requiring 17 decimal digits.

PHP Parser

This is a PHP 5.2 to PHP 5.6 parser written in PHP. Its purpose is to simplify static code analysis and manipulation.

Documentation for version 1.x (stable; for running on PHP >= 5.3).

Documentation for version 0.9.x (unsupported; for running on PHP 5.2).

In a Nutshell

The parser turns PHP source code into an abstract syntax tree. For example, if you pass the following code into the parser:

<?php
echo 'Hi', 'World';
hello\world('foo', 'bar' . 'baz');

You'll get a syntax tree looking roughly like this:

array(
    0: Stmt_Echo(
        exprs: array(
            0: Scalar_String(
                value: Hi
            )
            1: Scalar_String(
                value: World
            )
        )
    )
    1: Expr_FuncCall(
        name: Name(
            parts: array(
                0: hello
                1: world
            )
        )
        args: array(
            0: Arg(
                value: Scalar_String(
                    value: foo
                )
                byRef: false
            )
            1: Arg(
                value: Expr_Concat(
                    left: Scalar_String(
                        value: bar
                    )
                    right: Scalar_String(
                        value: baz
                    )
                )
                byRef: false
            )
        )
    )
)

You can then work with this syntax tree, for example to statically analyze the code (e.g. to find programming errors or security issues).

Additionally, you can convert a syntax tree back to PHP code. This allows you to do code preprocessing (like automatedly porting code to older PHP versions).
