preg_filter

(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)

preg_filter — Perform a regular expression search and replace

Опис

preg_filter() is identical to preg_replace() except it only returns the (possibly transformed) subjects where there was a match. For details about how this function works, read the preg_replace() documentation.

Параметри

Parameters are described in the documentation for preg_replace().

Значення, що повертаються

Returns an array if the subject parameter is an array, or a string otherwise.

If no matches are found or an error occurred, an empty array is returned when subject is an array or null otherwise.

Приклад #1 Example comparing preg_filter() with preg_replace()

<?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)); 
?>

Поданий вище приклад виведе:

(
    [0] => A:C:1
    [1] => B:C:a
    [2] => A:2
    [3] => B:b
    [4] => A:3
    [7] => A: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');
?>

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']
?>

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 ;
      
    }
    
  }
?>
