i have made up a simple function to extract a number from a string..
I am not sure how good it is, but it works.
It gets only the numbers 0-9, the "-", " ", "(", ")", "."
characters.. This is as far as I know the most widely used characters for a Phone number.
<?php
function clean_phone_number($phone) {
if (!empty($phone)) {
//var_dump($phone);
preg_match_all('/[0-9\(\)+.\- ]/s', $phone, $cleaned);
foreach($cleaned[0] as $k=>$v) {
$ready .= $v;
}
var_dump($ready);
die;
if (mb_strlen($cleaned) > 4 && mb_strlen($cleaned) <=25) {
return $cleaned;
}
else {
return false;
}
}
return false;
}
?>
preg_match_all
(PHP 4, PHP 5)
preg_match_all — Expression rationnelle globale
Description
Analyse subject pour trouver l'expression pattern et met les résultats dans matches , dans l'ordre spécifié par flags .
Après avoir trouvé un premier résultat, la recherche continue jusqu'à la fin de la chaîne.
Liste de paramètres
- pattern
-
Le masque à chercher, sous la forme d'une chaîne de caractères.
- subject
-
La chaîne d'entrée.
- matches
-
Tableau contenant tous les résultats, dans un tableau multidimensionnel ordonné suivant le paramètre flags .
- flags
-
Peut prendre une des deux valeurs suivantes (notez bien qu'il est incohérent d'utiliser PREG_PATTERN_ORDER avec PREG_SET_ORDER ) :
- PREG_PATTERN_ORDER
-
L'ordre est tel que $matches[0] est un tableau qui contient les résultats qui satisfont le masque complet, $matches[1] est un tableau qui contient les résultats qui satisfont la première parenthèse capturante, etc.
<?php
preg_match_all("|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U",
"<b>exemple : </b><div align=left>ceci est un test</div>",
$out, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
echo $out[0][0] . ", " . $out[0][1] . "\n";
echo $out[1][0] . ", " . $out[1][1] . "\n";
?>L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
<b>exemple : </b>, <div align=left>ceci est un test</div> exemple : , ceci est un test
Ainsi, $out[0] est un tableau qui contient les résultats qui satisfont le masque complet, et $out[1] est un tableau qui contient les balises entre > et <.
- PREG_SET_ORDER
-
Les résultats sont classés de telle façon que $matches[0] contient la première série de résultats, $matches[1] contient la deuxième, etc.
<?php
preg_match_all("|<[^>]+>(.*)</[^>]+>|U",
"<b>exemple : </b><div align=\"left\">ceci est un test</div>",
$out, PREG_SET_ORDER);
echo $out[0][0] . ", " . $out[0][1] . "\n";
echo $out[1][0] . ", " . $out[1][1] . "\n";
?>L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
<b>exemple : </b>, exemple : <div align="left">ceci est un test</div>, ceci est un test
- PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE
-
Si cette option est activée, toutes les sous-chaînes qui satisfont le masque seront aussi identifiées par leur offset. Notez que cela modifie le format de la valeur retournée, puisque chaque élément de réponse devient un tableau contenant la sous-chaîne résultat, à l'index 0 dans la chaîne subject constant 1.
Si order est omis, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER est utilisé par défaut.
- offset
-
Normalement, la recherche commence au début de la chaîne subject . Le paramètre optionnel offset peut être utilisé pour spécifier une position pour le début de la recherche (en octets).
Note: Utiliser le paramètre offset ne revient pas à passer substr($subject, $offset) à preg_match_all() à la place de la chaîne subject , car pattern peut contenir des assertions comme ^, $ ou (?<=x). Lisez la documentation sur la fonction preg_match() pour des exemples.
Valeurs de retour
Retourne le nombre de résultats qui satisfont le masque complet, ou FALSE si une erreur survient.
Historique
| Version | Description |
|---|---|
| 4.3.3 | Le paramètre offset a été ajouté. |
| 4.3.0 | Le drapeau PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE a été ajouté. |
Exemples
Exemple #1 Extraction de tous les numéros de téléphone d'un texte
<?php
preg_match_all("/\(? (\d{3})? \)? (?(1) [\-\s] ) \d{3}-\d{4}/x",
"Call 555-1212 or 1-800-555-1212", $phones);
?>
Exemple #2 Recherche les couples de balises HTML (gourmand)
<?php
// Cet exemple utilise les références arrières (\\2).
// Elles indiquent à l'analyseur qu'il doit trouver quelque chose qu'il
// a déjà repéré un peu plus tôt
// le nombre 2 indique que c'est le deuxième jeu de parenthèses
// capturante qui doit être utilisé (ici, ([\w]+)).
// L'antislash est nécessaire ici, car la chaîne est entre guillemets doubles
$html = "<b>texte en gras</b><a href=howdy.html>cliquez moi</a>";
preg_match_all("/(<([\w]+)[^>]*>)(.*)(<\/\\2>)/", $html, $matches, PREG_SET_ORDER);
foreach ($matches as $val) {
echo "matched: " . $val[0] . "\n";
echo "part 1: " . $val[1] . "\n";
echo "part 2: " . $val[3] . "\n";
echo "part 3: " . $val[4] . "\n\n";
}
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
matched: <b>texte en gras</b> part 1: <b> part 2: texte en gras part 3: </b> matched: <a href=howdy.html>cliquez moi</a> part 1: <a href=howdy.html> part 2: cliquez moi part 3: </a>
Exemple #3 Utilisation d'un sous-masque nommé
<?php
$str = <<<FOO
a: 1
b: 2
c: 3
FOO;
preg_match_all('/(?<name>\w+): (?<digit>\d+)/', $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
?>
L'exemple ci-dessus va afficher :
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[0] => a: 1
[1] => b: 2
[2] => c: 3
)
[name] => Array

The power of pregs is limited only by your *imagination* :)
I wrote this html2a() function using preg recursive match (?R) which provides quite safe and bulletproof html/xml extraction:
<?php
function html2a ( $html ) {
if ( !preg_match_all( '
@
\<\s*?(\w+)((?:\b(?:\'[^\']*\'|"[^"]*"|[^\>])*)?)\>
((?:(?>[^\<]*)|(?R))*)
\<\/\s*?\\1(?:\b[^\>]*)?\>
|\<\s*(\w+)(\b(?:\'[^\']*\'|"[^"]*"|[^\>])*)?\/?\>
@uxis', $html = trim($html), $m, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE | PREG_SET_ORDER) )
return $html;
$i = 0;
$ret = array();
foreach ($m as $set) {
if ( strlen( $val = trim( substr($html, $i, $set[0][1] - $i) ) ) )
$ret[] = $val;
$val = $set[1][1] < 0
? array( 'tag' => strtolower($set[4][0]) )
: array( 'tag' => strtolower($set[1][0]), 'val' => html2a($set[3][0]) );
if ( preg_match_all( '
/(\w+)\s*(?:=\s*(?:"([^"]*)"|\'([^\']*)\'|(\w+)))?/usix
', isset($set[5]) && $set[2][1] < 0
? $set[5][0]
: $set[2][0]
,$attrs, PREG_SET_ORDER ) ) {
foreach ($attrs as $a) {
$val['attr'][$a[1]]=$a[count($a)-1];
}
}
$ret[] = $val;
$i = $set[0][1]+strlen( $set[0][0] );
}
$l = strlen($html);
if ( $i < $l )
if ( strlen( $val = trim( substr( $html, $i, $l - $i ) ) ) )
$ret[] = $val;
return $ret;
}
?>
Now let's try it with this example: (there are some really nasty xhtml compliant bugs, but ... we shouldn't worry)
<?php
$html = <<<EOT
some leftover text...
< DIV class=noCompliant style = "text-align:left;" >
... and some other ...
< dIv > < empty> </ empty>
<p> This is yet another text <br >
that wasn't <b>compliant</b> too... <br />
</p>
<div class="noClass" > this one is better but we don't care anyway </div ><P>
<input type= "text" name ='my "name' value = "nothin really." readonly>
end of paragraph </p> </Div> </div> some trailing text
EOT;
$a = html2a($html);
//now we will make some neat html out of it
echo a2html($a);
function a2html ( $a, $in = "" ) {
if ( is_array($a) ) {
$s = "";
foreach ($a as $t)
if ( is_array($t) ) {
$attrs="";
if ( isset($t['attr']) )
foreach( $t['attr'] as $k => $v )
$attrs.=" ${k}=".( strpos( $v, '"' )!==false ? "'$v'" : "\"$v\"" );
$s.= $in."<".$t['tag'].$attrs.( isset( $t['val'] ) ? ">\n".a2html( $t['val'], $in." " ).$in."</".$t['tag'] : "/" ).">\n";
} else
$s.= $in.$t."\n";
} else {
$s = empty($a) ? "" : $in.$a."\n";
}
return $s;
}
?>
This produces:
some leftover text...
<div class="noCompliant" style="text-align:left;">
... and some other ...
<div>
<empty>
</empty>
<p>
This is yet another text
<br/>
that wasn't
<b>
compliant
</b>
too...
<br/>
</p>
<div class="noClass">
this one is better but we don't care anyway
</div>
<p>
<input type="text" name='my "name' value="nothin really." readonly="readonly"/>
end of paragraph
</p>
</div>
</div>
some trailing text

Recently I had to write search engine in hebrew and ran into huge amount of problems. My data was stored in MySQL table with utf8_bin encoding.
So, to be able to write hebrew in utf8 table you need to do
<?php
$prepared_text = addslashes(urf8_encode($text));
?>
But then I had to find if some word exists in stored text. This is the place I got stuck. Simple preg_match would not find text since hebrew doesnt work that easy. I've tried with /u and who kows what else.
Solution was somewhat logical and simple...
<?php
$db_text = bin2hex(stripslashes(utf8_decode($db_text)));
$word = bin2hex($word);
$found = preg_match_all("/($word)+/i", $db_text, $matches);
?>
I've used preg_match_all since it returns number of occurences. So I could sort search results acording to that.
Hope someone finds this useful!

Here is a way to match everything on the page, performing an action for each match as you go. I had used this idiom in other languages, where its use is customary, but in PHP it seems to be not quite as common.
<?php
function custom_preg_match_all($pattern, $subject)
{
$offset = 0;
$match_count = 0;
while(preg_match($pattern, $subject, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE, $offset))
{
// Increment counter
$match_count++;
// Get byte offset and byte length (assuming single byte encoded)
$match_start = $matches[0][1];
$match_length = strlen(matches[0][0]);
// (Optional) Transform $matches to the format it is usually set as (without PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE set)
foreach($matches as $k => $match) $newmatches[$k] = $match[0];
$matches = $new_matches;
// Your code here
echo "Match number $match_count, at byte offset $match_start, $match_length bytes long: ".$matches[0]."\r\n";
// Update offset to the end of the match
$offset = $match_start + $match_length;
}
return $match_count;
}
?>
Note that the offsets returned are byte values (not necessarily number of characters) so you'll have to make sure the data is single-byte encoded. (Or have a look at paolo mosna's strByte function on the strlen manual page).
I'd be interested to know how this method performs speedwise against using preg_match_all and then recursing through the results.

Perhaps you want to find the positions of all anchor tags. This will return a two dimensional array of which the starting and ending positions will be returned.
<?php
function getTagPositions($strBody)
{
define(DEBUG, false);
define(DEBUG_FILE_PREFIX, "/tmp/findlinks_");
preg_match_all("/<[^>]+>(.*)<\/[^>]+>/U", $strBody, $strTag, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
$intOffset = 0;
$intIndex = 0;
$intTagPositions = array();
foreach($strTag[0] as $strFullTag) {
if(DEBUG == true) {
$fhDebug = fopen(DEBUG_FILE_PREFIX.time(), "a");
fwrite($fhDebug, $fulltag."\n");
fwrite($fhDebug, "Starting position: ".strpos($strBody, $strFullTag, $intOffset)."\n");
fwrite($fhDebug, "Ending position: ".(strpos($strBody, $strFullTag, $intOffset) + strlen($strFullTag))."\n");
fwrite($fhDebug, "Length: ".strlen($strFullTag)."\n\n");
fclose($fhDebug);
}
$intTagPositions[$intIndex] = array('start' => (strpos($strBody, $strFullTag, $intOffset)), 'end' => (strpos($strBody, $strFullTag, $intOffset) + strlen($strFullTag)));
$intOffset += strlen($strFullTag);
$intIndex++;
}
return $intTagPositions;
}
$strBody = 'I have lots of <a href="http://my.site.com">links</a> on this <a href="http://my.site.com">page</a> that I want to <a href="http://my.site.com">find</a> the positions.';
$strBody = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($strBody), '<a>');
$intTagPositions = getTagPositions($strBody);
print_r($intTagPositions);

I found simpleXML to be useful only in cases where the XML was extremely small, otherwise the server would run out of memory (I suspect there is a memory leak or something?). So while searching for alternative parsers, I decided to try a simpler approach. I don't know how this compares with cpu usage, but I know it works with large XML structures. This is more a manual method, but it works for me since I always know what structure of data I will be receiving.
Essentially I just preg_match() unique nodes to find the values I am looking for, or I preg_match_all to find multiple nodes. This puts the results in an array and I can then process this data as I please.
I was unhappy though, that preg_match_all() stores the data twice (requiring twice the memory), one array for all the full pattern matches, and one array for all the sub pattern matches. You could probably write your own function that overcame this. But for now this works for me, and I hope it saves someone else some time as well.
// SAMPLE XML
<RETS ReplyCode="0" ReplyText="Operation Successful">
<COUNT Records="14" />
<DELIMITER value="09" />
<COLUMNS>PropertyID</COLUMNS>
<DATA>521897</DATA>
<DATA>677208</DATA>
<DATA>686037</DATA>
</RETS>
<?PHP
// SAMPLE FUNCTION
function parse_xml($xml) {
// GET DELIMITER (single instance)
$match_res = preg_match('/<DELIMITER value ?= ?"(.*)" ?\/>/', $xml, $matches);
if(!empty($matches[1])) {
$results["delimiter"] = chr($matches[1]);
} else {
// DEFAULT DELIMITER
$results["delimiter"] = "\t";
}
unset($match_res, $matches);
// GET MULTIPLE DATA NODES (multiple instances)
$results["data_count"] = preg_match_all("/<DATA>(.*)<\/DATA>/", $xml, $matches);
// GET MATCHES OF SUB PATTERN, DISCARD THE REST
$results["data"]=$matches[1];
unset($match_res, $matches);
// UNSET XML TO SAVE MEMORY (should unset outside the function as well)
unset($xml);
// RETURN RESULTS ARRAY
return $results;
}

To count str_length in UTF-8 string i use
$count = preg_match_all("/[[:print:]\pL]/u", $str, $pockets);
where
[:print:] - printing characters, including space
\pL - UTF-8 Letter
/u - UTF-8 string
other unicode character properties on http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt

please note, that the function of "mail at SPAMBUSTER at milianw dot de" can result in invalid xhtml in some cases. think i used it in the right way but my result is sth like this:
<img src="./img.jpg" alt="nice picture" />foo foo foo foo </img>
correct me if i'm wrong.
i'll see when there's time to fix that. -.-

If you'd like to include DOUBLE QUOTES on a regular expression for use with preg_match_all, try ESCAPING THRICE, as in: \\\"
For example, the pattern:
'/<table>[\s\w\/<>=\\\"]*<\/table>/'
Should be able to match:
<table>
<row>
<col align="left" valign="top">a</col>
<col align="right" valign="bottom">b</col>
</row>
</table>
.. with all there is under those table tags.
I'm not really sure why this is so, but I tried just the double quote and one or even two escape characters and it won't work. In my frustration I added another one and then it's cool.

This is a function to convert byte offsets into (UTF-8) character offsets (this is reagardless of whether you use /u modifier:
<?php
function mb_preg_match_all($ps_pattern, $ps_subject, &$pa_matches, $pn_flags = PREG_PATTERN_ORDER, $pn_offset = 0, $ps_encoding = NULL) {
// WARNING! - All this function does is to correct offsets, nothing else:
//
if (is_null($ps_encoding))
$ps_encoding = mb_internal_encoding();
$pn_offset = strlen(mb_substr($ps_subject, 0, $pn_offset, $ps_encoding));
$ret = preg_match_all($ps_pattern, $ps_subject, $pa_matches, $pn_flags, $pn_offset);
if ($ret && ($pn_flags & PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE))
foreach($pa_matches as &$ha_match)
foreach($ha_match as &$ha_match)
$ha_match[1] = mb_strlen(substr($ps_subject, 0, $ha_match[1]), $ps_encoding);
//
// (code is independent of PREG_PATTER_ORDER / PREG_SET_ORDER)
return $ret;

Here's some fleecy code to 1. validate RCF2822 conformity of address lists and 2. to extract the address specification (the part commonly known as 'email'). I wouldn't suggest using it for input form email checking, but it might be just what you want for other email applications. I know it can be optimized further, but that part I'll leave up to you nutcrackers. The total length of the resulting Regex is about 30000 bytes. That because it accepts comments. You can remove that by setting $cfws to $fws and it shrinks to about 6000 bytes. Conformity checking is absolutely and strictly referring to RFC2822. Have fun and email me if you have any enhancements!

PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE always seems to provide byte offsets, rather than character position offsets, even when you are using the unicode /u modifier.
