PCRE WITH PHP @Thomas Weinert
ABOUT PHP functions and classes PCRE syntax
WARNING! Slides contain a lot of example source Most of
the examples are really stupid
PREG_MATCH() Pattern Subject Matches Flags Offset
PREG_MATCH() EXAMPLE preg_match('(a.?)', 'abac', $match); var_dump($match); array(1) { [0]=> string(2)
"ab" }
FLAG: PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE preg_match('(a.?)', 'abac', $match, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, 2); var_dump($match); array(1) {
[0]=> array(2) { [0]=> string(2) "ac" [1]=> int(2) } }
OFFSET $subject = 'aa ab ac ad'; $offset = 0;
$length = strlen($subject); while ($offset < $length) { if (preg_match('(a.)', $subject, $match, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $offset)) { $offset = $match[0][1] + strlen($match[0][0]); var_dump($match[0][0]); } else { break; } } string(2) "aa" string(2) "ab" string(2) "ac" string(2) "ad"
PATTERN Delimiter Expression Modifiers /expression/x
DELIMITER Any non alphanumeric character Escaping Special meaning Brackets
DELIMITER: BRACKETS preg_match('((one)(two))', 'onetwo', $match); var_dump($match); array(3) { [0]=> string(6)
"onetwo" [1]=> string(3) "one" [2]=> string(3) "two" }
PATTERN String Escaping $pattern = '(\\\n)'; $text = <<<'TEXT' foo\nbar
TEXT; preg_match($pattern, $text, $match); var_dump($pattern, $text, $match); string(5) "(\\n)" string(8) "foo\nbar" array(1) { [0]=> string(2) "\n" }
