PHP为使用Perl兼容的正则表达式搜索字符串提供了7个函数,分别是preg_grep()、preg_match()、preg_match_all()、preg_quote()、preg_replace()、preg_replace_callback()和preg_split()
1, preg_grep()函数,将数组中符合要求的元素组成数组返回。函数样式如下,
array preg_grep(string $pattern,array $input),$pattern为查询条件,$input待查询数组。
如:
<?php $foods = array("pasta","steak","fish","potatoes"); $food = preg_grep("/^p/",$foods); var_dump($food); ?>
输出:
array(2) { [0]=> string(5) "pasta" [3]=> string(8) "potatoes" }
2,preg_split()函数,将字符串按照要求分割成数组返回
array preg_split(string $pattern,string $input,int $limit),$pattern分隔符,$input输入字符串,$limit为限定返回数组中元素个数。
如:
<?php $delimitedText="Jason+++Gilmore++++++Columbus++++OH"; $fields = preg_split("/(+)+/",$delimitedText); var_dump($fields); ?>
输出:
array(4) { [0]=> string(5) "Jason" [1]=> string(7) "Gilmore" [2]=> string(8) "Columbus" [3]=> string(2) "OH" }
3,preg_match()函数,在字符串查找某个元素,存在返回true,否则返回false。
int preg_match(string $pattern,string $subject,$matches),$pattern查询的字符串,$subject待查询的字符串,$matches存放查询结果的数组,$matches[0]包含完整模式匹配到的文本,$matches[1]包含第一个捕获子组匹配到的文本,依次类推。
如:
$line = "Vim is the greatest word processor ever created! vim is greate"; if(preg_match("/vim/i",$line,$matches)){ echo "字符串存在元素!"; } var_dump($matches);
输出:
字符串存在元素!array(1) { [0]=> string(3) "Vim" }
4,preg_match_all()函数,preg_match_all()与preg_match()功能类似,不过还是有差异。preg_match()结果匹配一次成功后停止匹配;preg_match_all()实现所有结果的匹配。
如:
$pattern = ‘/^(http://)?([^/]+)/i‘; $subject = ‘http://www.php.net/index.html‘; preg_match_all($pattern,$subject,$match); var_dump($match);
输出:
array (size=3) 0 => array (size=1) 0 => string ‘http://www.php.net‘ (length=18) 1 => array (size=1) 0 => string ‘http://‘ (length=7) 2 => array (size=1) 0 => string ‘www.php.net‘ (length=11)
数组中第一个$matchs[0]就是整个$pattern匹配到的文本元素
$matchs[1] 匹配到的是子组 (http://) 匹配到的文本
$matchs[2] 匹配到的是子组(^/+) 匹配到的文本
5,preg_replace()函数,在数组或字符串中查找并替换某部分。
mixed preg_replace(mixed $pattern,mixed $replacement,mixed $str,int $limit),$pattern替换值,$replacement被替换值,$str查找替换的字符串,$limit指定应当发生多少次匹配,不设置或设置为-1将替换所有出现的情况。$pattern和$replacement可以使数组,即$replacement[i]替换$pattern[i]。
如:
<?php $text = "This is a link to http://www.wjgilmore.com/."; echo preg_replace("/http://(.*)//","<a href="${0}">${0}</a>",$text); ?>
输出:
This is a link to http://www.wjgilmore.com/.
如:
<?php $draft = "In 2007 the company faced plummeting revenues and scandal"; $keywords = array("/faced/","/plummeting/","/scandal/"); $replacements = array("celebrated","skyrocketing","expansion"); echo preg_replace($keywords,$replacements,$draft); ?>
输出:
In 2007 the company celebrated skyrocketing revenues and expansion
6,preg_replace_callback()函数,此函数与preg_replace()函数类似,此处的被替换值$replacement可以用函数实现。
mixed preg_replace_callback(mixed $pattern,callback callback,mixed$str,int $limit)
如:
function acronym($matches){ //通常: $matches[0]是完成的匹配 //$matches[1]是第一个捕获子组的匹配 //以此类推 $acronyms = array( 'WWW'=>'World Wide Web', 'IRS'=>'Internal Revenue Service', 'PDF'=>'Portable Document Format' ); if(isset($acronyms[$matches[1]])){ return $matches[1]."(".$acronyms[$matches[1]].")"; }else{ return $matches[1]; } } $text = "The <acronym>IRS</acronym> offers tax forms in <acronym>PDF</acronym> format on the <acronym>WWW</acronym>"; $newtext = preg_replace_callback("/<acronym>(.*)</acronym>/U","acronym",$text); print_r($newtext); ?>
输出:
The IRS(Internal Revenue Service) offers tax forms in PDF(Portable Document Format) format on the WWW(World Wide Web)
7,preg_quote()函数,在字符串中特殊字符前差一个反斜线。这些特殊字符包括$^*()+={}[]|\:<>。其形式为:
string preg_quote(string $str,string $delimiter),$delimiter用于指定用于正则表达式的定界符,使用它也要用反斜线转义。
如:
<?php $text = "Tickets for the bout are going for $500."; echo preg_quote($text); ?>
输出:
Tickets for the bout are going for $500.
