(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

mb_ereg — Regular expression match with multibyte support

说明

mb_ereg(string $pattern, string $string, array &$matches = null): bool

Executes the regular expression match with multibyte support.

参数

pattern

The search pattern.

string

The search string.

matches

If matches are found for parenthesized substrings of pattern and the function is called with the third argument matches, the matches will be stored in the elements of the array matches. If no matches are found, matches is set to an empty array.

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

返回值

Returns whether pattern matches string.

更新日志

版本	说明
8.0.0	This function returns `true` on success now. Previously, it returned the byte length of the matched string if a match for `pattern` was found in `string` and `matches` was passed. If the optional parameter `matches` was not passed or the length of the matched string was `0`, this function returned `1`.
7.1.0	mb_ereg() will now set `matches` to an empty array, if nothing matched. Formerly, `matches` was not modified in that case.

注释

注意:
mb_regex_encoding() 指定的内部编码或字符编码将会当作此函数用的字符编码。

Old link to Oniguruma regex syntax is not working anymore, there is a working one:

Note that mb_ereg() does not support the \uFFFF unicode syntax but uses \x{FFFF} instead:

<?PHP

$text = 'Peter is a boy.'; // english
$text = 'بيتر هو صبي.'; // arabic
//$text = 'פיטר הוא ילד.'; // hebrew

mb_regex_encoding('UTF-8');

if(mb_ereg('[\x{0600}-\x{06FF}]', $text)) // arabic range
//if(mb_ereg('[\x{0590}-\x{05FF}]', $text)) // hebrew range
{
    echo "Text has some arabic/hebrew characters.";
}
else
{
    echo "Text doesnt have arabic/hebrew characters.";
}

?>

One of the differences between preg_match() & mb_ereg()
about "captured parenthesized subpattern".

<?php

preg_match('/(abc)(.*)/', 'abc', $match);
var_dump($match);

mb_ereg('(abc)(.*)', 'abc', $match);
var_dump($match);

?>

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  [2]=>
  string(0) ""       // <-- "string"(0) "" : preg_match()
}

array(3) {
  [0]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  [1]=>
  string(3) "abc"
  [2]=>
  bool(false)       // <-- "bool"(false) : mb_ereg()
}

If adding ".*" at the end of the pattern returns "false" 
whereas only one "." returns "true",

Suspect the string is too long for the pattern matching.

In this case, using preg_match() returns "true" when putting ".*" 
, but adding more "$" or "\z" returns "false" as expected.

mb_ereg() with a named-subpattern
never catches non-named-subpattern.
(Oniguruma's restriction)

<?php

$str = 'abcdefg';
$patternA = '\A(abcd)(.*)\z';        // both caught [1]abcd [2]efg
$patternB = '\A(abcd)(?<rest>.*)\z'; // non-named 'abcd' never caught

mb_ereg($patternA, $str, $match);
echo '<pre>'.print_r($match, true).'</pre>';

mb_ereg($patternB, $str, $match);
echo '<pre>'.print_r($match, true).'</pre>';
?>

Array
(
    [0] => abcdefg
    [1] => abcd
    [2] => efg
)

Array
(
    [0] => abcdefg
    [1] => efg
    [rest] => efg

I hope this information is shown somewhere on php.net.

According to "https://github.com/php/php-src/tree/PHP-5.6/ext/mbstring/oniguruma",
the bundled Oniguruma regex library version seems ...
 4.7.1 between PHP 5.3 - 5.4.45,
 5.9.2 between PHP 5.5 - 7.1.16,
 6.3.0 since PHP 7.2 - .

mb_ereg() seems unable to Use "named sub ¶

mb_ereg() seems unable to Use "named subpattern".
preg_match() seems a substitute only in UTF-8 encoding.

<?php

$text = 'multi_byte_string';
$pattern = '.*(?<name>string).*';        // "?P" causes "mbregex compile err" in PHP 5.3.5

if(mb_ereg($pattern, $text, $matches)){
    echo '<pre>'.print_r($matches, true).'</pre>';
}else{
    echo 'no match';
}

?>

This code ignores "?<name>" in $pattern and displays below.

Array
(
    [0] => multi_byte_string
    [1] => string
)

$pattern = '/.*(?<name>string).*/u';
if(preg_match($pattern, $text, $matches)){

instead of lines 2 & 3
displays below (in UTF-8 encoding).

Array
(
    [0] => multi_byte_string
    [name] => string
    [1] => string
)

While hardly mentioned anywhere, it may be useful to note that mb_ereg uses Oniguruma library internally. The syntax for the default mode (ruby) is described here:

Hebrew regex tested on PHP 5, Ubuntu 8.04.

Seems to work fine without the mb_regex_encoding lines (commented out).

Didn't seem to work with \uxxxx (also commented out).


<?php

echo "Line ";

//mb_regex_encoding("ISO-8859-8");

//if(mb_ereg(".*([\u05d0-\u05ea]).*", $this->current_line))

if(mb_ereg(".*([א-ת]).*", $this->current_line))

{

    echo "has";

}

else

{

    echo "doesn't have";

}

echo " Hebrew characters.<br>";    

//mb_regex_encoding("UTF-8");

?>
