Command-line script to convert between array()
and PHP 5.4's short syntax []
(and vice versa).
It uses native PHP tokenizer, so conversion is safe. The script was successfully tested against thousands of PHP files.
To convert all *.php
and *.phpt
files in whole directory recursively or to convert a single file use:
php convert.php <directory | file>
To convert source code from STDIN and print the output to STDOUT use:
php convert.php < input.php > output.php
To convert short syntax []
to older long syntax array()
use option --reverse
:
php convert.php --reverse <directory | file>
