    python setup.py install

  • If you completed all the above, you should now be able to use the PLY module

    import ply.lex

To execute the parser run the following command:

```
python3 php_parser.py ./test_files/filename.php
```
  • Note: The filename.php file contains the php code which you want to check. This file lies in the ./test_files folder
  • There are several test php files in the ./test_files folder which you can use inplace of filename.php (eg.: do-whle.php, for.php, etc.)
  • Example: $ python3 php_parser.py ./test_files/if.php
