preg_quote

(PHP 4, PHP 5)

preg_quoteMaskiert Zeichen regulärer Ausdrücke

Beschreibung

string preg_quote ( string $str [, string $delimiter ] )

preg_quote() setzt einen Backslash vor jedes Zeichen von str , das zur Syntax eines regulären Ausdrucks gehört. Das ist nützlich, wenn Sie einen Text nach Übereinstimmungen mit einer zur Laufzeit erzeugten Zeichenkette durchsuchen müssen, die spezielle RegEx-Zeichen enthalten könnte.

Spezielle Zeichen regulärer Ausdrücke sind: . \ + * ? [ ^ ] $ ( ) { } = ! < > | :

Parameter-Liste

str

Die zu durchsuchende Zeichenkette

delimiter

Falls der optionale delimiter angegeben wurde, wird dieser ebenfalls maskiert. Das ist nützlich, um den Begrenzer zu maskieren, der von den PCRE-Funktionen benötigt wird. Der / ist der am häufigsten verwendete Begrenzer.

Rückgabewerte

Gibt die maskierte Zeichenkette zurück.

Beispiele

Beispiel #1 preg_quote()-Beispiel

<?php
$schluesselwoerter 
'$40 für einen G3/400';
$schluesselwoerter preg_quote($schluesselwoerter'/');
echo 
$schluesselwoerter// liefert \$40 für einen G3\/400
?>

Beispiel #2 Kursivdruck eines Wortes in einem Text

<?php
// In diesem Beispiel wird preg_quote($wort) verwendet, damit die
// Asterisks (*) für den regulären Ausdruck keine spezielle Bedeutung haben.

$text "Dieses Buch ist *sehr* schwer zu finden.";
$wort "*sehr*";
$text preg_replace ("/" preg_quote($wort) . "/",
                          
"<i>" $wort "</i>",
                          
$text);
?>

Anmerkungen

Hinweis: Diese Funktion ist binary safe.

To escape characters with special meaning, like: .-[]() and so on, use \Q and \E.

For example:

<?php echo ( preg_match('/^'.( $myvar = 'te.t' ).'$/i', 'test') ? 'match' : 'nomatch' ); ?>

Will result in: match

But:

<?php echo ( preg_match('/^\Q'.( $myvar = 'te.t' ).'\E$/i', 'test') ? 'match' : 'nomatch' ); ?>

Will result in: nomatch

Not sure why this note got deleted, but hey lets try again:

As of PHP 5.3, bug #47229 has been fixed and preg_quote *will* escape a hyphen (-). This may effect your code so ensure this is one thing you check when moving to 5.3.

I wanted to escape a string of characters so I could match them in [], i.e. [.,-!"§$%\\\[\]\^].

Unfortunately preg_quote does not escape the - character which has a special meaning in [], i.e. [a-z].

So I used this hack: make - the delimiter of the expression, i.e.

preg_quote(userinput, "-")
preg_replace("-[$userinput]-u", "", $str)

Apparently using a special char as a delimiter of a regular expression disables this character, i.e. even if it's escaped it's not understood as special character for the expression anymore.

so the pattern "-[a\\-z]-u" matches the characters a, - and z, and not abc...xyz.

It would be nice if preg_quote also escaped characters that have special meanings even if they have this meaning only under certain conditions, such as inside [].

To bizzigul at hotmail dot fr:
It's not a good practice to make somthing work *almost* all of the time. If the input contains a '`' you will still get an error. I recommend using the default delimiter ('/') and also feed this to preg_quote as second argument.

To prevent any problems, try to always use a delimiter that will *almost* not be used inside the regex, such as ` (back quote)

for example: instead of
<?php preg_match('/foo\/bar\//',$somevar); ?>

use

<?php preg_match('`foo/bar/`',$somevar); ?>

it's that simple! like this, you won't have to bother with delimiters anymore...

Wondering why your preg_replace fails, even if you have used preg_quote?

Try adding the delimiter / - preg_quote($string, '/');
