There are also some PECL extensions which parse PHP code for various reasons. First there is BCompiler, which can compile a PHP into byte code. Since this step requires parsing the PHP code, I would expect errors if it isn’t lint. Parsekit allwos you to compile PHP code to OP codes, which is basically what you desire. However, the extension did not have a release since late 2009, so it might be outdated. Parse_Tree is sadly unmaintained since 2007, but its purpose is to parse a PHP file into an AST. Maybe you can get to something with this one, after some polishing.
PHP_Parser is a PEAR package, which does not rely on special PHP extensions and attempts to parse PHP code from within PHP. Its marked alpha and unmaintained, but it might give you a basis to experiment with.
