It allows you to cut out the needed part of a text from a given text. v3.0.2(1mo ago)22.5k↑66.7%MITPHPPHP ^8.1CI passing Since Jun 6Pushed 1mo ago1 watchersCompare [ Source](https://github.com/rogerhegland/text-parser)[ Packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/hegland/text-parser)[ Docs](https://github.com/rogerhegland/text-parser)[ RSS](/packages/hegland-text-parser/feed)WikiDiscussions master Synced yesterday READMEChangelog (7)Dependencies (3)Versions (11)Used By (0) text-parser =========== [](#text-parser) It allows you to cut the needed part of a text in given text examples -------- [](#examples) ### Find one [](#find-one) ``` company urls zipcode & city Hegland GmbH http://www.companylink1.ch http://www.companylink2.ch http://www.companylink3.ch 8400 Winterthur http://www.link1.ch http://www.link2.ch http://www.link3.ch ^^^^^^ name street zipcode & city ^^^^^^^ Roger Hegland ^^^^=============^^^^^ Châtelstrasse 13 8355 Aadorf ``` In the following example we get the name "Roger Hegland": ``` $name = Parser::findOne($text, '"id2">', '', '', ''); /* result = (string) 'Roger Hegland' */ ``` ### Find one backwards [](#find-one-backwards) Use `findOneBackwards()` when you know the text on the right side and want to search backwards for the left boundary. The first search text is the right anchor. Each following search text is searched backwards from the start of the current match. ``` $text = ' let settings = [{value:"6.0",label:"Zimmer"},{value:"125",label:"Wohnflaeche"},{value:"2025",label:"Baujahr"}]; '; $rooms = Parser::findOneBackwards($text, '",label:"Zimmer"', '"'); /* result = (string) '6.0' */ ``` `bFindOne()` is available as a short alias for `findOneBackwards()`. ### Aliases [](#aliases) The descriptive method names are the primary API. Short aliases are available for compact parser calls: ``` Parser::fO($text, '', ''); // findOne() Parser::fM($text, '', '', '">'); // findMany() Parser::bfO($text, '",label:"Zimmer"', '"'); // findOneBackwards() ``` ### Find many [](#find-many) Please notice, that the first parameter is used for the end search. In the following example we get all link names: ``` company urls zipcode & city Hegland GmbH companylink1 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ companylink2 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ companylink3 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ 8400 Winterthur link1 ^^^^ ^^=====^^^^ link2 ^^^^ ^^=====^^^^ link3 ^^^^ ^^=====^^^^ name street zipcode & city Roger Hegland Châtelstrasse 13 8355 Aadorf ``` ``` Parser::findMany($text, '', '', '">' ); /* result = array [ 'companylink1', 'companylink2', 'companylink3', 'link1', 'link2', 'link3' ] */ ``` If you only need the link names in the table you can do something like this: ``` company urls zipcode & city Hegland GmbH companylink1 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ companylink2 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ companylink3 ^^^^ ^^============^^^^ 8400 Winterthur link1 link2 link3 name street zipcode & city Roger Hegland Châtelstrasse 13 8355 Aadorf ``` ``` $text = Parser::findOne($text, '', '' ); Parser::findMany($text, '', '', '">' ); /* result = array [ 'companylink1', 'companylink2', 'companylink3', ] */ ``` ### Health Score 54 — FairBetter than 96% of packages Maintenance92 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity78 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio. Uses a 2-year decay window. **Popularity (30%)** — Total and monthly downloads, GitHub stars, and forks. Logarithmic scaling prevents top-heavy scores. **Community (15%)** — Contributors, dependents, forks, watchers, and maintainers. Measures real ecosystem engagement. **Maturity (30%)** — Project age, version count, PHP version support, and release stability. ### Release Activity Cadence Every ~404 days Recently: every ~826 days Total 10 Last Release 40d ago Major Versions 1.0.6 → 2.0.02017-05-08 2.0.1 → v3.0.02026-05-06 PHP version history (3 changes)1.0.0PHP >=5.6 1.0.3PHP >=7.0 v3.0.0PHP ^8.1 ### Community Maintainers ![](https://www.gravatar.com/avatar/393c898cfe774fe2e62be217b533ffa405989c7154bca2f68a2f8b21f1124250?d=identicon)[rogerhegland](/maintainers/rogerhegland) --- Top Contributors [![rogerhegland](https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/10993943?v=4)](https://github.com/rogerhegland "rogerhegland (29 commits)") --- Tags parser ### Code Quality TestsPHPUnit ### Embed Badge ![Health badge](/badges/hegland-text-parser/health.svg) ``` [![Health](https://phpackages.com/badges/hegland-text-parser/health.svg)](https://phpackages.com/packages/hegland-text-parser) ``` ### Alternatives [nikic/php-parser A PHP parser written in PHP 17.4k954.1M2.5k](/packages/nikic-php-parser)[doctrine/lexer PHP Doctrine Lexer parser library that can be used in Top-Down, Recursive Descent Parsers. 11.2k959.8M160](/packages/doctrine-lexer)[erusev/parsedown Parser for Markdown. 15.1k156.8M870](/packages/erusev-parsedown)[league/commonmark Highly-extensible PHP Markdown parser which fully supports the CommonMark spec and GitHub-Flavored Markdown (GFM) 3.0k437.5M1.0k](/packages/league-commonmark)[masterminds/html5 An HTML5 parser and serializer. 1.8k269.7M322](/packages/masterminds-html5)[sabberworm/php-css-parser Parser for CSS Files written in PHP 1.8k211.0M75](/packages/sabberworm-php-css-parser) PHPackages © 2026 [Directory](/)[Categories](/categories)[Trending](/trending)[Changelog](/changelog)[Analyze](/analyze)
