preg_last_error

(PHP 5 >= 5.2.0, PHP 7)

preg_last_error返回最后一个PCRE正则执行产生的错误代码

说明

preg_last_error ( void ) : int

返回最后一次PCRE正则执行的错误代码。

Example #1 preg_last_error() 示例

<?php

preg_match
('/(?:\D+|<\d+>)*[!?]/''foobar foobar foobar');

if (
preg_last_error() == PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT_ERROR) {
    print 
'Backtrack limit was exhausted!';
}

?>

以上例程会输出:

Backtrack limit was exhausted!

返回值

返回下面常量中的一个(查看它们自身的解释):

  • PREG_NO_ERROR
  • PREG_INTERNAL_ERROR
  • PREG_BACKTRACK_LIMIT_ERROR (参见 pcre.backtrack_limit
  • PREG_RECURSION_LIMIT_ERROR (参见 pcre.recursion_limit
  • PREG_BAD_UTF8_ERROR
  • PREG_BAD_UTF8_OFFSET_ERROR (自 PHP 5.3.0 起)
  • PREG_JIT_STACKLIMIT_ERROR (自 PHP 7.0.0 起)

Here is a correction to one of the previous "get error message" snippets. It filters out the non-error codes which stops "Warning:  array_flip(): Can only flip STRING and INTEGER values!" from being emitted due to ["PCRE_JIT_SUPPORT"]=>bool(true):

<?php
echo array_flip(array_filter(get_defined_constants(true)['pcre'], function ($value) {
  return
substr($value, -6) === '_ERROR';
},
ARRAY_FILTER_USE_KEY))[preg_last_error()];

Getting error as text (small update):

<?php
echo array_flip(array_filter(get_defined_constants(true)['pcre'], function($v) { return is_integer($v); }))[preg_last_error()];

If you use T-Regx library, to get the last constant, you can use

<?php

echo preg_last_error_constant(); // 'PREG_BAD_UTF8_ERROR'

Take it into account before use this function.

In PHP 5.5 and above, getting the error message is as simple as:

<?php
echo array_flip(get_defined_constants(true)['pcre'])[preg_last_error()];

Just an addition to my previous note: In unicode mode (with "u" modifier), PREG_BAD_UTF8_ERROR only reflects errors in the subject string. If the pattern itself contains invalid characters, preg_match() (or preg_match_all()) returns false but preg_last_error() returns 0 indicating PREG_NO_ERROR. Instead, php issues a warning: "preg_match(): Compilation failed: invalid UTF-8 string at offset 0"

Here is a more advanced function to convert an error code to text:

<?php

function preg_errtxt($errcode)
{
    static
$errtext;

    if (!isset(
$errtxt))
    {
       
$errtext = array();
       
$constants = get_defined_constants(true);
        foreach (
$constants['pcre'] as $c => $n) if (preg_match('/_ERROR$/', $c)) $errtext[$n] = $c;
    }

    return
array_key_exists($errcode, $errtext)? $errtext[$errcode] : NULL;
}

?>

The above function pcre_error_deocde [sic] is not correct - not all of the used constants are errors constants. For example, when the error is actually PREG_BAD_UTF8_ERROR, the function outputs the text for PREG_SPLIT_OFFSET_CAPTURE.
