The PhpToken class

(PHP 8)

Introduction

This class provides an alternative to token_get_all(). While the function returns tokens either as a single-character string, or an array with a token ID, token text and line number, PhpToken::tokenize() normalizes all tokens into PhpToken objects, which makes code operating on tokens more memory efficient and readable.
