How to use PHP regular replacement preg_replace function

How to use PHP regular replacement preg_replace function: 1. Remove 0 characters, the code is [preg_replace("/0/","",$str)]; 2. Remove all numbers, the code is [preg_replace ("/[0-9]/","",$str)].

How to use PHP regular replacement preg_replace function:

<?php
$str="as2223adfsf0s4df0sdfsdf";
echo preg_replace("/0/","",$str);//去掉0字符，此时相当于 replace的功能, preg_replace("/0/","A",$str); 这样就是将0变成A的意思了
echo preg_replace("/[0-9]/","",$str);//去掉所有数字
echo preg_replace("/[a-z]/","",$str); //这样是去掉所有小写字母
echo preg_replace("/[A-Z]/","",$str); //这样是去掉所有大写字母
echo preg_replace("/[a-z,A-Z]/","",$str); //这样是去掉所有字母
$str="as2223adfsAAf0s4df0s中国人dD中南海DDfsdf";
echo preg_replace("/[a-z,A-Z,0-9]/","",$str); //去掉所有字母和数字
?>

After the above examples, I believe everyone knows,[ ] and what’s inside it. You can also see that the matching string must be added with / / (see the first parameter of the example)

<?php
$str="acsdcs<55555555>sc<6666>sdcd";
echo preg_replace("/<.*>/","",$str);

means that the string starting with is removed. For the part ending with <code>>, the output result is: acsdcssdcd

Note: The .* above means any character, that is, regardless of the is to remove everything. . represents any character, * represents any number

Now let’s change it, what if we don’t want it to be any number?

$str="acsdcs<55555555>sc<6666>sdcd";

echo preg_replace("/<.{4}>/","",$str);

//Output at this time: acsdcsscsdcd Because {4} specifies the condition: only 4 characters within the satisfy the condition, so does not meet the condition, no be replaced.

Note: At this time we learned another knowledge point {number} means specifying the previous number, * means any number (0--unlimited)

means the number of repetitions In addition to *, {specified times}, there are many expressions:

<?php
$str="acsdcs<55555555>sc<6666>sd<>cd";
echo preg_replace("/<[0-9]*>/","",$str);
//输出acsdcscd
echo "<hr>";
echo preg_replace("/<[0-9]+>/","",$str);
//输入acsdcsscsd<>cd
?>

The above example is just to express the difference between * and, * means repeating 0 times or n times, and means repeating 1 or more times, that is In one example, means that there must be at least one number in to qualify.

I believe everyone knows at this time why the output results of using * and using in the above example are different

Come again:

<?php
$str="acsdcs<55555555>sc<6666>sd<>cd";
echo preg_replace("/<[0-9]?>/","",$str);
//输出acsdcs<55555555>sc<6666>sdcd
?>

Look at [0-9]? Here ? means that if it is 0 or 1 times, it does not meet the conditions if it is more than 1 time.

To summarize, above we learned how * ? and braces {} represent the number of repetitions.
