ereg

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

ereg — 正则表达式匹配

说明

int ereg ( string $pattern , string $string [, array &$regs ] )

Note:

使用 Perl 兼容正则表达式语法的 preg_match() 函数通常是比 ereg() 更快的替代方案。

以区分大小写的方式在 string 中寻找与给定的正则表达式 pattern 所匹配的子串。

如果找到与 pattern 中圆括号内的子模式相匹配的子串并且函数调用给出了第三个参数 regs，则匹配项将被存入 regs 数组中。$regs[1] 包含第一个左圆括号开始的子串，$regs[2] 包含第二个子串，以此类推。$regs[0] 包含整个匹配的字符串。

Note: 直到 PHP 4.1.0 为止， $regs 将被填充为正好十个单元，即使实际匹配的子串少于十个。这并不影响 ereg() 匹配更多子串的能力。如果没有找到匹配，则 $regs 不会被 ereg() 更改。

如果在 string 中找到 pattern 模式的匹配则返回所匹配字符串的长度，如果没有找到匹配或出错则返回 FALSE 。如果没有传递入可选参数 regs 或者所匹配的字符串长度为 0，则本函数返回 1。

Example #1 ereg() 例子

  <?php
 if ( ereg  ( "([0-9]{4})-([0-9]{1,2})-([0-9]{1,2})" ,  $date ,  $regs )) {
    echo  " $regs [ 3 ] . $regs [ 2 ] . $regs [ 1 ] " ;
} else {
    echo  "Invalid date format:  $date " ;
}
 ?>

Here a little clear and easy script
that I wrote to validate an E-Mail Input.

I tried to understand ereg,
but the describtion on php.net did not help me,
so I made some research and finally (think)
that Im sure how to use ereg.

The following function works for me well and allows
an E-Mail to contain the following characters:
"A-Z, a-z, 0-9, . , - , _ "

<?php function validateMail($mail) { if($mail !== "") { if(!ereg("^[A-Za-z0-9\.|-|_]* [@]{1}[A-Za-z0-9\.|-|_]*[.]{1}[a-z]{2,5}$", $mail)) { echo "wrong Input for E-Mail"; $mail =""; return $mail; } else { return $mail; } } } ?>

to make it clear:
^ means begin here (startpoint of ereg)
$ means end here (endpoint of ereg)
* stand for endless characters (I want A-Z, a-z, 0-9 and the other characters to apear from 0 to endless
optional you can write {1,5} for
min 1 times a character or max 5 times a
characters instead of *
{1,2} means min 1 time a character and max 2 times a character (optional you can write * intead of {1,2}
{1} stand for max 1 time a character
\ means from here special characters (like .-_$ and so on)
| means OR

Recognizing E-mail Addresses

worth noting: a valid e-mail may contain a + character.

for example:
if you send e-mail to myemail+something@gmail.com, gmail reroutes it to the account myemail@gmail.com. This is a useful feature, and it is very frustrating when websites that take your e-mail don't allow you to do this.

[#4] hreisin at gmail dot com [2008-11-21 13:50:04]

Hi,
for those looking for email adress PHP validation,
isemail is a javascrit function that checks the following conditions for the email string:

   ? only one @ sign permitted
   ? domain extension separator (.) must come after the @ symbol
   ? must be at least 2 characters (letters) after the domain extension separator (.)
   ? rejects all illegal characters including spaces.
   ? Allows only numbers, letters, the underscore (_) and the dash (-) character as valid input
     (excluding the mandatory "@" and "." symbols).
   ? Minimum of 6 characters

The following pattern satisfy all-in-one for the ereg function:
$pattern = "^([A-Za-z0-9\.|-|_]{1,60})([@])";
$pattern .="([A-Za-z0-9\.|-|_]{1,60})(\.)([A-Za-z]{2,3})$";

ereg($pattern,$email)

Here is a series of useful regular expressions.

[#6] Jeff K. [2008-07-18 13:16:48]

In reply to Francis,

Your regular expression:
$pattern = "^($)?([0-9]{3})($)?( )?([0-9]{3})( )?(\-)?( )?([0-9]{4})$";

I actually used this to validate a phone number. The one discrepancy I found is with patterns such as 503-555-1212, 503-5551212, [503]5551212, and every other pattern that does not have single whitespace or a dash as a delimiter, ereg() will return false when given your expression.

Based on your pattern, I came up with a more general and concise version making use of the dot meta-character:
$pattern = "^.?[0-9]{3}.?.?[0-9]{3}.?[0-9]{4}$";

When passed to ereg(), it will return "true" so long as there is 10 digits, regardless of the delimiter chosen by the user.

[503] 5551212 //true
5035551212 //true
503+555 1212//true

$pattern = "^($)?([0-9]{3})($)?( )?([0-9]{3})( )?(\-)?( )?([0-9]{4})$";

UK postcode validation.

We've used the expression put forward by tomas and jaik,
but we found that it fails on Coventry (CV) postcodes.

Here is an alternative that works for these postcodes and
also adds support for the Overseas Territories like Tristan da Cunha.

<?php function IsPostcode($postcode) { $postcode = strtoupper($postcode); if(ereg("((GIR 0AA)|(TDCU 1ZZ)|(ASCN 1ZZ)|(BIQQ 1ZZ)|(BBND 1ZZ)" ."|(FIQQ 1ZZ)|(PCRN 1ZZ)|(STHL 1ZZ)|(SIQQ 1ZZ)|(TKCA 1ZZ)" ."|[A-PR-UWYZ]([0-9]{1,2}|([A-HK-Y][0-9]" ."|[A-HK-Y][0-9]([0-9]|[ABEHMNPRV-Y]))" ."|[0-9][A-HJKS-UW]) [0-9][ABD-HJLNP-UW-Z]{2})", $postcode)) { return $postcode; } else { return FALSE; } } ?>

[#9] E. Stuart Hicks [2008-02-27 11:23:11]

It's important to note for certain regular expression that your $regs[] array will only contain as many values as you have sets of parenthesis in your regexp. (plus 1, of course) For example, the regexp below was designed to locate tags enclosed in <> characters inside a string:

<?php ereg("^([^<]*)(<[^>]+>[^<]*)*$", $str, $tags) ?>

This will *not* create an arbitrarily long array in $tags for the number of tags that it finds. Given the string "This <has> a <couple> of <tags> in it", you'll see:

0 : This <has> a <couple> of <tags> in it
1 : This
2 : <tags> in it

Since the same parenthesized section of the regexp is matching all tags found, it overwrites the same section of the array. If you try increasing the number of parenthesis, it just creates duplicates of the same result.

[#10] Will [2008-02-01 07:47:51]

There is undocumented behaviour for this command!

You cannot check for strings of 1-256 characters or longer.

For example, this will evaluate to true:

ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9' ]{1,255}$","ghfhg");

But this will give the error:
PHP Warning: ereg(): REG_BADBR

ereg("^[a-zA-Z0-9' ]{1,256}$","ghfhg");

Save yourself some headache and time, don't use the \d (digits) \w (alphanumeric) and \s (whitespace) short forms. Not only do they make the code less readable, they don't seem to work with ereg.

Use [0-9], [A-Za-z0-9], [ \n\r\t] instead.

Since the regex example in this article is a bit on the complex side, I'll throw in a simpler regex example:

Say you want to validate valid variable names:

<?php $regex_valid_variable_name = '^[A-Za-z_][A-Za-z0-9_]*$'; // ^ in this context means that the regex is anchored // to the beginning of the string. // // A single [xxx] means that a single letter must mach // the criteria within // // The [xxx]* means that [xxx] can mach from zero to // unlimited times. // // The $ is another anchor, except it is for the end of // the sting. // Valid names: "_", "hello1", "a_variable" // Invalid names: "4number", "five-to", "one two", " space " //Test it out: $regx = $regx_valid_variable_name; $valid = array ( '_', 'hello1', 'a_variable' ); $invalid = array ( '4number', 'five-to', 'one two', ' space '); foreach($valid as $v) echo 'Valid '.(ereg($regx, $v) ? 'yes' : 'no') . ": $v \n"; foreach($invalid as $v) echo 'Invalid '.(!ereg($regx, $v) ? 'yes' : 'no') . ": $v \n"; ?>

Ok well someone else posted this but if didn't work so I made my own.
I used this to check file names that are to be created on a server.
File names that start with a-Z or 0-9 and contain a-Z, 0-9, underscore(_), dash(-), and dot(.) will be accepted.
File names beginning with anything but a-Z or 0-9 will be rejected.
File names containing anything other than above mentioned will also be rejected.

Here it is.

The authoritative source of information is

Here is the ugly beast (don't wanna see regexp's ever again):

<?php function Return_Substrings($text, $sopener, $scloser) { $result = array(); $noresult = substr_count($text, $sopener); $ncresult = substr_count($text, $scloser); if ($noresult < $ncresult) $nresult = $noresult; else $nresult = $ncresult; unset($noresult); unset($ncresult); for ($i=0;$i<$nresult;$i++) { $pos = strpos($text, $sopener) + strlen($sopener); $text = substr($text, $pos, strlen($text)); $pos = strpos($text, $scloser); $result[] = substr($text, 0, $pos); $text = substr($text, $pos + strlen($scloser), strlen($text)); } return $result; } ?>

<?php $string = "bonjour ?? tous, comment allez-vous ?"; $result = Return_Substrings($string, "", ""); ?>

I wanted a more strict check for UK postcodes, and decided to do it by stripping all whitespace then using ereg:

Probably could be improved, as I've just started, but it matches everything listed on the post office spec.

Hello

I think this is not clear:

"the matches will be stored in the elements of the array regs. $regs[1] will contain the substring which starts at the first left parenthesis; $regs[2] will contain the substring starting at the second, and so on. $regs[0] will contain a copy of the complete string matched. "

Beacause By "substring," it means the string contained within the parenthesis.

But in that statement it isn't so clearly

A common mistake seems to be trying to escape characters within a bracket
expression. Unlike the preg functions, backslash is always taken literally
within a bracket expression using the ereg functions. See
http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/function.eregi.php#57824
for more details.

Some of the posts here can be re-written to be much simpler.

16-Feb-2005 10:02
attempts to allow square brackets in a string with
^[a-zA-Z0-9 [.[.] [.].] ]{1,}$
Although this appears to work a less confusing means is
^[]a-zA-Z0-9[]{1,}$
The ] has to be the first character (after a possible ^) but the [ can be
anywhere as long as it is not in the middle of a range of course.

Says that ereg("hi[:space:]*bob", $string)
doesnt work in php 4 and to use preg_match() instead.

The above quoted use is incorrect it should be
<?php ereg("hi[[:space:]]*bob", $string); ?#=#> I tested this with the following in php 4.3.3 and it works fine <?php //The hex codes are space, tab, line feed, vertical tab, form feed, carriage return $whitespace = "\x20\x09\x0a\x0b\x0C\x0d"; $teststring = "hi".$whitespace."bob"; $result = ereg ("hi[[:space:]]*bob", $teststring, $arr); echo ('Matches '.$result.' characters'); //Prints Matches 11 characters ?>

Says that ereg("^[' A-Za-Z]+$", $cardName); will not work.

The fault with the above is the range a-Z the capital Z comes before small a
and so this will fail. The following works fine

You cannot with ereg functions (preg you can) so

While this is relatively simple example, I was unable find a clean method of doing this anywhere else, so I thought I would post it here.

As part of a file upload package, I wanted to prevent the uploading of double byte character filenames and other special ASCII characters that may not work well on a Windows and/or Linux system. Here is the statement I ended up using which seems to have done the trick.

ereg("[^a-zA-Z0-9._-]", $file_name)

[#23] php at REMOVEMEkennel17 dot co dot uk [2005-04-26 19:00:53]

After a lot of hard work I managed to create the following regular expression, which matches any HTML tag pair (i.e. opening and closing tag), as specified by tagname:

^(.*)(<[ \n\r\t]*tagname(>|[^>]*>))(.*)(<[ \n\r\t]*/[ \n\r\t]*tagname(>|[^>]*>))(.*)$

The expression is deliberately very forgiving of bad HTML - I wanted to match anything that could be reasonably accepted by a forgiving browser, rather than make it standards compliant. Whitespace is allowed between the tagname and the opening and closing tag symbols, and also between the / and the tagname for the closing tag.

For my own use, I have wrapped it in a function call, which you may find useful. Here it is with a few notes. I hope somebody finds it useful.

- Mark Clements

<?php function ereg_MatchedHTMLTags($tagname) { return "^(.*)(<[ \\n\\r\\t]*$tagname(>|[^>]*>))(.*)(<[ \\n\\r\\t]*/[ \\n\\r\\t]*$tagname(>|[^>]*>))(.*)$"; } // Use with eregi to ensure case-insensitive match. // e.g. to split an HTML page based on body tag: // eregi(ereg_MatchedHTMLTags('body'), $Source, $Matches) // The following values will be held in $Matches //(marked values are unintended byproducts of the expression) // *[0] - the entire string ($Source). // [1] - everything before the opening tag // [2] - the opening tag, including all contents (i.e. everything between < and >) // *[3] - the opening tag from end of the tag name, // e.g. '<body bgcolor="#000000">' gives ' bgcolor="#000000">' // [4] - the tag contents (everything between the opening and closing tag) // [5] - the complete closing tag. // *[6] - the closing tag from the end of the tag name // e.g. '</body invalid text>' gives ' invalid text>' // [7] - everything after the closing tag. ?>
