PHP also supports regular expressions using a Perl-compatible syntax
|
|
using the <link linkend="ref.pcre">PCRE functions</link>. Those functions
|
|
support non-greedy matching, assertions, conditional subpatterns, and a
|
|
number of other features not supported by the POSIX-extended regular
|
|
expression syntax.

|
|
These regular expression functions are not binary-safe. The <link
|
|
linkend="ref.pcre">PCRE functions</link> are.

Regular expressions are used for complex string manipulation in
|
|
PHP. The functions that support regular expressions are:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>ereg</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>ereg_replace</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>eregi</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>eregi_replace</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>split</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara><function>spliti</function></simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
These functions all take a regular expression string as their
|
|
first argument. PHP uses the POSIX extended regular expressions
|
|
as defined by POSIX 1003.2. For a full description of POSIX
|
|
regular expressions see the regex man pages included in the regex
|
|
directory in the PHP distribution. It's in manpage format, so
|
|
you'll want to do something along the lines of <command>man
|
|
/usr/local/src/regex/regex.7</command> in order to read it.
