The RPA engine has a PHP extension able to parse pretty much anything if given the appropriate BNF rules. Here is a online demo of the RPA PHP extension parsing JavaScript:

I would love to, but I am just too busy with my full time job and also trying to find time to work on TwitBlock.org. Even opening up the project as open source so others can work on it is in itself too time consuming. Sorry to disappoint.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Well, it’s the starting point I was looking for — I only want a subset of the complete JavaScript functionality and want to add some custom functions for a mini-language. I don’t see any updates on this since February — any chance you’ll still be releasing the source code?

I’m searching for a method to minify my js within php, but the use of packer for example is not the best method cause it uses eval and other things i not really like (and with enabled gzip it’s also bigger than reducing it in a less destructive way)
Another way of using JParser would for my current project where i want to give the user the ability to use their own scripts to enhance their experience, a bit like the apps on the iphone or widgets etc. on igoogle, the yahoo thing or whatever, using just a filter against specific things like the bad eval etc. is a solution but it reduces the abilities for some (mainly stupid or bad) programmers. I could copy the fbopen-platform with it’s fbml-parser but thats quit a big client and i also don’t have the money for an extra server only for the parsing, it should be easy to use (perhaps a port to python, which my provider also enabled, but not something so big)

I’m less interested in the pure javascript parser, but am very interested in the approach that you’ve taken. I’m looking at the feasibility of embedding a VB Script parser within the PHPExcel Open Source project, initially to support user-defined functions within Excel workbooks.

Ultimately, I want to convert VB code to a set of PHP calls that can be executed to replicate VB functionality read from the workbook when they’re loaded into PHP; and conversely, to validate VBscript macros before they are written to newly created workbooks.
