(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7)
preg_filter — 执行一个正则表达式搜索和替换
$pattern
, mixed $replacement
, mixed $subject
[, int $limit = -1
[, int &$count
]] ) : mixedpreg_filter()等价于preg_replace() 除了它仅仅返回(可能经过转化)与目标匹配的结果. 这个函数怎样工作的更详细信息请阅读 preg_replace()文档.
如果subject是一个数组，返回一个数组，
其他情况返回一个字符串。
如果没有找到匹配或者发生了错误，当subject是数组
时返回一个空数组，其他情况返回NULL。
Example #1 比较preg_filter() 和preg_replace()的示例
<?php
$subject = array('1', 'a', '2', 'b', '3', 'A', 'B', '4');
$pattern = array('/\d/', '/[a-z]/', '/[1a]/');
$replace = array('A:$0', 'B:$0', 'C:$0');
echo "preg_filter returns\n";
print_r(preg_filter($pattern, $replace, $subject));
echo "preg_replace returns\n";
print_r(preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject));
?>
以上例程会输出：
preg_filter returns
Array
(
[0] => A:C:1
[1] => B:C:a
[2] => A:2
[3] => B:b
[4] => A:3
[7] => A:4
)
preg_replace returns
Array
(
[0] => A:C:1
[1] => B:C:a
[2] => A:2
[3] => B:b
[4] => A:3
[5] => A
[6] => B
[7] => A:4
)
If you don't want to actually replace the matches, just filter the array to them, make the replacement parameter '$0'.
<?php
$subject = array('1', 'a', '2', 'b', '3', 'A', 'B', '4');
$result = preg_filter('/\d/', '$0', $subject); // ['1','2','3','4']
?>
For those who read manual not in English and figure out that example code returns not the same result as in documentation
You need put in example patter modifier "u" to get same result:
<?php
$subject = array('1', 'а', '2', 'б', '3', 'А', 'Б', '4');
// Added "u"
$pattern = array('/\d/u', '/[а-я]/u', '/[1а]/u');
$replace = array('А:$0', 'Б:$0', 'В:$0');
?>
As for the php 5.5.3 version, the example turn out like:
Array
(
[0] => A:1
[1] => B:a
...
)
As for the php 5.5.3 version, the example will turn out like:
Array
(
[0]=>A:1
[1]=>B:a
...
)
As I had to work with PHP5.2.X and needed preg_filter I wrote a quick and dirty workaround.
<?php
if (!function_exists('preg_filter')) {
function preg_filter($pattern, $replace, $subject, $limit = -1 , &$count = null) {
if(!is_array($subject)) {
$noArray = 1 ;
$subject = array($subject);
}
$preg = preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $subject, $limit, &$count);
$diff = array_diff($preg, $subject);
if($noArray == 1) $diff = implode($diff) ;
return $diff ;
}
}
?>
Another way to filter an array, and simply return the matching items: preg_grep!
