PHP parsing technique

Question

Can any one give me some idea about how does a php file get parsed? I'm actually looking for the finite state machine structure for the parser. If anyone has any idea please share.

PHP uses bison/yacc to generate a parser. Have a look at the grammar here: http://svn.php.net/viewvc/php/php-src/trunk/Zend/zend_language_parser.y?view=markup
