Using [PHP\_Parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser) as PHP syntax parsing backend, written in pure PHP. The generated ctags index file contains scope and access information about classes' methods and properties. This tool was originally developed to enhance the PHP syntax outline surport for vim [tagbar](http://majutsushi.github.com/tagbar/) plugin. The enhanced functionality has been included into an addon plugin for tagbar as [tagbar-phpctags](https://github.com/techlivezheng/tagbar-phpctags). Enjoy! Download and installation ------------------------- [](#download-and-installation) ``` curl -Ss https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vim-php/phpctags/gh-pages/install/phpctags.phar > phpctags chmod +x phpctags ``` Optionally one can move it into a directory on the `$PATH`: ``` sudo mv phpctags /usr/local/bin/ ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Single file: ``` phpctags phpfile.php ``` Tags will be written to a `tags` file. In order to specify a different tags file use the `-f` option: ``` phpctags -f myphp.tags phpfile.php ``` Directory with recursive option: ``` phpctags -f myphp.tags -R target_directory ``` Build ----- [](#build) > We currently only support building PHAR executable for \*nix like platform which provides `make` utility. If you are interested in building an executable for other platform, especially for Windows, please help yourself out. It should be easy though (Apologize for not being able to provide any help for this, I am really not a Windows guy), it also would be great if someone could provide a patch for this. Installation is straightforward, make sure you have PHP's PHAR extension enabled, then run `make` in the root directory of the source, you will get a `phpctags`PHAR executable, add it to your `$PATH`, then you can invoke `phpctags`directly from anywhere. See [phpctags on packagist](http://packagist.org/packages/techlivezheng/phpctags)for more details. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP CLI 7.4+ - [PHP-Parser](https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser) Acknowledgements ---------------- [](#acknowledgements) - [Snapi](https://github.com/sanpii) for composer support. - [DeMarko](https://github.com/DeMarko) for memory limit support. - [Sander Marechal](https://github.com/sandermarechal) for improve console support. - [Mark Wu](https://github.com/markwu) for building a stand-alone PHAR executable. - [InFog](https://github.com/InFog) for maintaining the project since 2019. ### Health Score 47 — FairBetter than 94% of packages Maintenance64 Regular maintenance activity Popularity28 Limited adoption so far Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity62 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 66% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
