PHP parser for Adblock Plus filters

Usage

To learn about Adblock Plus filter syntax check these links:

• https://adblockplus.org/en/filter-cheatsheet
• https://adblockplus.org/en/filters

1. Get filter rules somewhere: write them manually, read lines from a file downloaded from EasyList, etc.:

   $rules = [
       "||ads.example.com^",
       "@@||ads.example.com/notbanner^$~script",
   ];

2. Create AdblockRules instance from the rules array:

   use Limonte\AdblockParser;
   
   $adblockParser = new AdblockParser($rules);
   $adblockParser->addRules($anotherRules);

3. Use this instance to check if an URL should be blocked or not:

   $adblockParser->shouldBlock("http://ads.example.com"); // true
   $adblockParser->shouldBlock("http://non-ads.example.com"); // false
