I've been playing around with flex/bison a little the last couple of days. I've got this stupid idea to modify flex/bison to emit a compiler/parser as native PHP as opposed to C code. Does anybody know if this has been attempted or of there is any value in it except the fact that it would be Kewl :) the tokenizer will emit the elements of php code (in a similar way to flex/bison)

bcompiler (pear.php.net) has a callback feature that can show you all the opcodes in php - I did it to play about with writing a PHP->C converter, (not that simple).. somewhere between the two, you may find what you are looking for. regards Alan
