Code to return code outside of classes and functions

[mvidberg]

I need PHP code that given another PHP script will parse out and display all the code therein that does NOT reside inside a class or function. Think this may be doable somehow with either regular expressions or tokenizer but not sure of the most reliable method. Can anybody provide suggestions or solution?

Something that might be worth looking at is highlight_string() or highlight_file(), and see if the HTML markup it generates would give you sufficient handles (e.g. ID or class attributes) that you could filter out via the DOM extension. (No guarantees, just an off-the-top-of-my-head thought.)
