I'm trying to parse a Makefile, (FreeBSD Ports) I plan on dumping the Makefile vars to a MySQL Database. Would I parse the make file like a ini file? Or would I have to use something different? Maybe someone knows a tool that can do this for me? Thanks Ben
Try file() and ereg() or preg_match. If the Makefile has standard format you're looking for FOOBAR= some string here so reading the file into an array (the file() call) and using a regular expression conditional (to determine if you're looking at a variable or something else) might be quite enough to do the trick.
