⚡  New Project  ·  php-script

PHP Script

A scripting language with JavaScript-like syntax that runs sandboxed inside PHP. Let your users write custom automation and business logic — without exposing raw PHP or spinning up a Node.js service.

v1.0.3 Released MIT License 100% Test Coverage 232 Commits · 4 Contributors
🧩
JavaScript-Like Syntax
Familiar syntax for any developer — variables, loops, conditionals, method calls, and string concatenation. No learning curve for JS developers.
🔒
Sandboxed & Whitelisted
Full developer control over what functions and objects are exposed. Users only access what you explicitly allow — zero surface area for abuse.
🌳
AST-Based Engine
Built on a real Abstract Syntax Tree. Both PHP and PHP Script can be rendered from the same AST — enabling powerful tooling and analysis.
🎨
Monaco Editor Ready
Ships with a Monarch language definition for Monaco/VSCode-based editors — syntax highlighting and code completion out of the box.
⏱️
Execution Time Limits
Configurable timeout prevents infinite loops. Errors point back to the exact source location. Production-safe from day one.

example.phs  ·  PHP Script
// Greet the user by name echo 'Hello ' + user.name; // Count their logins totalLogins = user.logins.count(); echo 'Logins: ' + totalLogins; // Business logic with conditions score = totalLogins * 10 + user.bonus; if (score > 500) { echo 'Power user!'; } // Loop through allowed data foreach (users_list as u) { echo '- ' + u; } // Permission-gated access if (user.hasPermission('admin')) { echo 'Access granted!'; }
PHP Integration
use PhpScript\Core\Engine;

$engine = new Engine();
$engine->set('user', new User());
$engine->setExecutionTimeLimit(5);

echo $engine->execute($userScript);
