You might be interested in the following grammar (bsd license): http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.pdt/incubation/antlr_p arser_gsoc2009/grammar/compiler/php53/CompilerAst.g?view=markup&revision=1.1 &root=Tools_Project The syntax is for antlr but could come in handy with lemon I'll add that there's a c runtime for antlr: http://www.antlr.org/api/C/index.html You might benefit from using the existing c data structures from antlr
