PHP CSS Parser
I’ve spent hours online looking for a CSS parser to use with PHP but all searches came up empty, half-assed or required me to register with some strange sites. Frustrated, I decided to write my own parser which is pretty much working but very incomplete. I don’t know whether this will be another write-once, update-never thing like much other PHP code on the web is but one feature is definitely coming: The ability to generate output from the parsed structure (which can be programmatically modified after parsing – or indeed have been created from scratch in PHP).
Some other features are planned as well but if no-one else is willing to work on them, them ever getting implemented will depend on whether I myself need them at some point.
Without much further ado; here it is: http://github.com/sabberworm/PHP-CSS-Parser.
Update: Changed from a gist into a full-blown GitHub repository.

I love you app, and am an iPhone programmer. Is there any way that I can be of service?

Hello! At github, I don't know how, you didn't returned $aColor at parseColorValue() Best regards, Előd

Thanks for the hint, Előd. It’s fixed now and I’ll write the unit tests for it soon.

It did not worked on jquery-ui.css. Is there any forum or any such thing where I can post the stuff? jQueryUi.css is there at http://pastebin.com/qYRQyRQi Error Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Exception' with message 'Identifier expected, got (Opac' in \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php:98 Stack trace: #0 \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php(237): CSSParser->parseIdentifier() #1 \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php(206): CSSParser->parseValue() #2 \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php(194): CSSParser->parseRule() #3 \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php(188): CSSParser->parseRuleSet(Object(CSSSelector)) #4 \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php(50): CSSParser->parseSelector() #5 in \sabberworm-PHP-CSS-Parser-c779825\CSSParser.php on line 98

Thanks for this parser. I was hoping if you could help me. I want to open my main CCS file (main.css) and have it read all of the imported files? @import url('../styles/global/reset.css'); @import url('/styles/themes/helloWorld/structure.css'); @import url('/styles/themes/helloWorld/presentation.css'); The documentation says to: use getContents(), then iterate over that collection and use instanceof to check whether you’re dealing with another CSSImport This is what I have: $oCssParser = new CSSParser(file_get_contents('main.css')); $oCssDocument = $oCssParser->parse(); getContents($oCssDocument); Any chance you would be willing to provide some more assistance?

Hi Mark, have a look at ju1ius’ work. This fork has added the ability to resolve @import statements. Sincerely, Raphael

Hello,
It's breaking on one of the CSS files from facebooks unsupported browser page, it goes into an infinite loop on the private parseList() method.
Any ideas?
