[PHP] parse a Makefile
I'm trying to parse a Makefile, (FreeBSD Ports) I plan on dumping the Makefile vars to a MySQL Database. Would I parse the make file like a ini file? Or would I have to use something different? Maybe someone knows a tool that can do this for me? Thanks Ben -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
Re: [PHP] parse a Makefile
Makefile's are not ini files. ini files have the structure [section] variable=value [section2] variable2=value2 Makefiles have the structure variable=value Benjamin D Adams wrote: I'm trying to parse a Makefile, (FreeBSD Ports) I plan on dumping the Makefile vars to a MySQL Database.

If the Makefile has standard format you're looking for FOOBAR=some string here so reading the file into an array (the file() call) and using a regular expression conditional (to determine if you're looking at a variable or something else) might be quite enough to do the trick.
