It's not written in PHP - but it generates PHP code
have a look at http://php-sharp.sourceforge.net

In CVS is
phpLex a derivative of csLex (requires mono/.net runtime)
phpJay a derivative of Jay (a bison type grammer parser)

There are a few examples in the PHPSharp folder. look for .lex & .jay files.

phpLex is a bit better tested as I've been using it on 
HTML_Template_Flexy as well..
