Fetch table names from query

Is there any simple way to extract the table names of a given SELECT query without actually running it?

I've implemented a very simple results cache in my PHP application but I'd like to improve it. And one of the key points is finding out what tables a query reads from so I can handle obsolete data. Writing a reliable SQL parser in PHP looks like a hard task and obtaining a full explain plan from the Oracle server looks like an overkill.

Any ideas?

Thank you in advance,
