Parsing with PHP

Using parsers in PHP is less common then one might think. BBCodes, Wiki-Markup, Request-URLs - all need some kind of parsing. This talk will show why regular expressions are not always sufficient for such tasks and then show some more simple examples how maintainable parsers can be written with PHP, and how regular expressions can be used for efficient tokenizing.
