JungleDB PHP Wikipedia Parser

This is an attempt at extracting useful information out of raw Wikipedia page syntax, written as a portable PHP class. Originally written for JungleDB. Released the most recently updated (2015-02-13) version of the wiki_parser.php script, which is a significant improvement over the last copy.

I don't expect to update this repository in the forseeable future.

How to use

1. $wikipedia_syntax_parser = new Jungle_WikiSyntax_Parser($raw_wikipedia_syntax, "George Harrison");

   $raw_wikipedia_syntax is the raw Wiki syntax from a database dump or from the Edit textarea of a given page. An example of this syntax is provided in sample_input.txt.

   "Goerge Harrison" is a string containing the full Wiki page title (e.g.: George Harrison, Template:Wikipedia Syntax, File:image.png) and is optional (this helps determine the page_type [Main, Template, Special, File, ...])

2. $parsed_wiki_syntax = $wikipedia_syntax_parser->parse();

   Your $parsed_wiki_syntax variable becomes an array with information about the Wiki page itself and useful information extracted from within. An example of this output (using the old_version/wiki_parser.php), after parsing sample_input.txt, can be found in sample_output.txt. No preview of the latest revision is available but it is vastly improved and worth the effort to get it working on your end.

Notes

• When reading Wiki syntax files from disk, make sure they are properly encoded in UTF-8. To read these correctly encoded files, please use implode(file('WIKI_RAW_SYNTAX.TXT')) as file_get_contents('WIKI_RAW_SYNTAX.TXT') seems to mess up language-specific characters.
