Please tell me an easy and effective way for reading or getting information (whatever it is?) form the comment in php files, Whereas I know wordpress use this features.
Like I have a folder called theme and there are three files with this comment:
In first file
/* Template Name: page */
In second file
/* Template Name: category */
In third file
/* Template Name: Tags */
Then how whold I get page,category,tags in an array,
Please give a solution
Thanks for your time
To pare the php files you can do as:
$str = file_get_contents("/path/to/file1");
than you complete php file code is there, and you will need to use some regex to get the comments content
lets assume the $str have your php source code, the regex might be something like:
$str = "/* Template Name: page */\n bla bla blah";
preg_match( "#/\* Template Name: (\w*) \*/#", $str, $m);
var_dump( $m );
previous code output:
array(2) {
[0]=>
string(25) "/* Template Name: page */"
[1]=>
string(4) "page"
}
what you need is stored in $m[1]
$source = file_get_contents($filename);
$tokens = token_get_all($source);
foreach($tokens as $token){
if( ($token[0] == T_COMMENT || $token[0] == T_DOC_COMMENT)
&& preg_match('/Template Name: (.*)/',$token[1],$match){
echo "Template name is ".$match[1];
}
}
