I'm loading my own variant of BNF notation. I'll upload the grammar for your interest to a new post later on.. cheers! Also with regard to this post specifically: the automatic semicolon insertion is actually handled at parse-time, (i.e. the grammar says it's mandatory). If the parser is in error in certain situations it inserts a semicolon and tries again. This technique is more-or-less what is described in the ECMAScript specification.

Are you generating the PHP with ANTLR? If so, anyway I could get the ANTLR grammar? Cheers, Sean This is cool. Are you generating the PHP with ANTLR? If so, anyway I could get the ANTLR grammar?
