preg_match

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)

preg_matchPerform a regular expression match

Descrierea

int preg_match ( string $pattern , string $subject [, array &$matches [, int $flags = 0 [, int $offset = 0 ]]] )

Searches subject for a match to the regular expression given in pattern.

Parametri

pattern

The pattern to search for, as a string.

subject

The input string.

matches

If matches is provided, then it is filled with the results of search. $matches[0] will contain the text that matched the full pattern, $matches[1] will have the text that matched the first captured parenthesized subpattern, and so on.

flags

flags can be the following flag:

PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE

If this flag is passed, for every occurring match the appendant string offset will also be returned. Note that this changes the value of matches into an array where every element is an array consisting of the matched string at offset 0 and its string offset into subject at offset 1.

<?php
preg_match
('/(foo)(bar)(baz)/''foobarbaz'$matchesPREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => foobarbaz
            [1] => 0
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => foo
            [1] => 0
        )

    [2] => Array
        (
            [0] => bar
            [1] => 3
        )

    [3] => Array
        (
            [0] => baz
            [1] => 6
        )

)

offset

Normally, the search starts from the beginning of the subject string. The optional parameter offset can be used to specify the alternate place from which to start the search (in bytes).

Notă:

Using offset is not equivalent to passing substr($subject, $offset) to preg_match() in place of the subject string, because pattern can contain assertions such as ^, $ or (?<=x). Compare:

<?php
$subject 
"abcdef";
$pattern '/^def/';
preg_match($pattern$subject$matchesPREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE3);
print_r($matches);
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

Array

)

while this example

<?php
$subject 
"abcdef";
$pattern '/^def/';
preg_match($patternsubstr($subject,3), $matchesPREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>

will produce

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => def
            [1] => 0
        )

)

Valorile întoarse

preg_match() returns 1 if the pattern matches given subject, 0 if it does not, or FALSE if an error occurred.

Avertizare

Această funcție poate întoarce valoarea Boolean FALSE, dar poate de asemenea întoarce o valoare non-Boolean care evaluează în FALSE. Vă rugăm să citiți secțiunea despre tipul Boolean pentru informații suplimentare. Utilizați operatorul === pentru a verifica valoarea întoarsă de această funcție.

Istoricul schimbărilor

Versiune Descriere
5.3.6 Returns FALSE if offset is higher than subject length.
5.2.2 Named subpatterns now accept the syntax (?<name>) and (?'name') as well as (?P<name>). Previous versions accepted only (?P<name>).

Exemple

Example #1 Find the string of text "php"

<?php
// The "i" after the pattern delimiter indicates a case-insensitive search
if (preg_match("/php/i""PHP is the web scripting language of choice.")) {
    echo 
"A match was found.";
} else {
    echo 
"A match was not found.";
}
?>

Example #2 Find the word "web"

<?php
/* The \b in the pattern indicates a word boundary, so only the distinct
 * word "web" is matched, and not a word partial like "webbing" or "cobweb" */
if (preg_match("/\bweb\b/i""PHP is the web scripting language of choice.")) {
    echo 
"A match was found.";
} else {
    echo 
"A match was not found.";
}

if (
preg_match("/\bweb\b/i""PHP is the website scripting language of choice.")) {
    echo 
"A match was found.";
} else {
    echo 
"A match was not found.";
}
?>

Example #3 Getting the domain name out of a URL

<?php
// get host name from URL
preg_match('@^(?:http://)?([^/]+)@i',
    
"http://www.php.net/index.html"$matches);
$host $matches[1];

// get last two segments of host name
preg_match('/[^.]+\.[^.]+$/'$host$matches);
echo 
"domain name is: {$matches[0]}\n";
?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

domain name is: php.net

Example #4 Using named subpattern

<?php

$str 
'foobar: 2008';

preg_match('/(?P<name>\w+): (?P<digit>\d+)/'$str$matches);

/* This also works in PHP 5.2.2 (PCRE 7.0) and later, however 
 * the above form is recommended for backwards compatibility */
// preg_match('/(?<name>\w+): (?<digit>\d+)/', $str, $matches);

print_r($matches);

?>

Exemplul de mai sus va afișa:

Array
(
    [0] => foobar: 2008
    [name] => foobar
    [1] => foobar
    [digit] => 2008
    [2] => 2008
)

Note

Sfat

Do not use preg_match() if you only want to check if one string is contained in another string. Use strpos() instead as it will be faster.
