Does A String Extracting Tool Exist ?

[phdphd]

Hi All,

I am not sure this is the right section to post to, sorry...

I would like to know if there is a tool that is able to parse a php file and to extract the echoed strings from it.

Thanks!

It would be simple exercise to take a php file like

 

<?php
    echo "Message 1<br>";
    $msg = "Hello";
    echo "Message 2<br>";
    $msg .= " World!";
    echo $msg;
?>

and, treating it as a text file, use string search functions to output

 

Message 1<br>
Message 2<br>
$msg

 

The difficult bit, if required, would be knowing that $msg now contains "Hello World".
