mb_ereg_replace

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

mb_ereg_replaceReplace regular expression with multibyte support

Opis

string mb_ereg_replace ( string $pattern , string $replacement , string $string [, string $option = "msr" ] )

Scans string for matches to pattern, then replaces the matched text with replacement

Parametry

pattern

The regular expression pattern.

Multibyte characters may be used in pattern.

replacement

The replacement text.

string

The string being checked.

option
Matching condition can be set by option parameter. If i is specified for this parameter, the case will be ignored. If x is specified, white space will be ignored. If m is specified, match will be executed in multiline mode and line break will be included in '.'. If p is specified, match will be executed in POSIX mode, line break will be considered as normal character. If e is specified, replacement string will be evaluated as PHP expression.

Zwracane wartości

The resultant string on success, or FALSE on error.

Notatki

Informacja:

Wewnętrzne kodowanie lub kodowanie znaków określone przez mb_regex_encoding() zostanie użyte jako kodowanie znaków dla tej funkcji.

Ostrzeżenie

Nigdy nie należy używać modyfikatora e na niesprawdzonych danych wejściowych. Znaki unikowe nie są dodawane automatycznie (podobnie jak w preg_replace()). Nie zwracanie uwagi na to często powoduje, że aplikacje są podatne na zdalne wywoływania szkodliwego kodu.

You can use \\n for capture group in replacement.
And you can NOT use $n notation (unlike preg_replace function).

Unlike preg_replace, mb_ereg_replace doesn't use separators

Exemple with preg_replace :
<?php $data = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9\.\-]/","",$data); ?>

Exemple with mb_ereg_replace :
<?php $data = mb_ereg_replace("[^A-Za-z0-9\.\-]","",$data); ?>

I got a pretty nasty error while trying to parse table rows(all contents were set to UTF-8) from the database for a dictionary project. The idea was to get all the rows from the first table (that is a table with bulgarian phrase in the first field, and its translation in english, french and german in the next fields). I needed to index all the bulgarian words that are found in the table to make an intelligent search. And that is where my headache started.

First of all, even with mb_strtolower() a lot of cyrillic characters went corrupted (ex: 'т,ъ,у,ф,б,г,з,ж,' etc...). After an hour of different attempts I got such a solution:

<?php

mb_internal_encoding
("UTF-8");
mb_regex_encoding("UTF-8");

$rows = $db->getRows();

$contents = array();
foreach (
$rows as $eachRow)
{
   
$cleared = str_replace($commonWords, ' ', mb_strtolower(stripslashes($eachRow['bulgarian']), 'UTF-8' ));
    if (
trim($cleared) != '') $contents[] = trim($cleared);
}   

$list = array();
foreach (
$contents as $eachRow)
{
   
$exploded = explode(' ', $eachRow);
    foreach (
$exploded as $eachExpl)
    {
       
$eachExpl = mb_ereg_replace('[^а-я ]',' ', $eachExpl);
        if (
trim($eachExpl) != '')
            if (!
in_array($eachExpl, $list, true))    $list[] = trim($eachExpl);
    }
}

?>

To work properly I got to set all the internal encoding settings to UTF-8. Else the default Latin-1 got half my database with missing characters.

I am posting this solution just in case someone has encountered a similar problem. Hope it helps you in case you need something like that.

<?php
$pattern
= "([あ-ん]+)[0-9]+";
$string = mb_ereg_replace($pattern, '「\\1」:\\0', $string);
?>

you can use \\n for capture group in replacement

If you want to replace characters like "ä" or "ø" you can use mb_ereg_replace, but it is very slow. str_replace is much faster and also works with characters like "ä" or "ø"!

I think this has something to with the fact that str_replace works on byte level and does not care about characters.
I hope that can help.

'i' option does not work correctly with multibyte characters. The function does not locate/replace the multibyte string if it's different case then specified on multibyte needle which is in different case.
squeegee 01-Nov-2006 12:41
well, if you just calculated the length of the find and replace strings once instead of on every loop, it would likely speed it up a lot.

Regarding the mb_str_ireplace() function: I benchmarked it against mb_eregi_replace() for single-character substitution, and it was significantly slower. Despite avoiding the ereg call, I think the while loop ends slowing you down too much for this to be practical.

Are you looking for htmlentities() for multibyte strings? This might help you - it just replace <, >, ", '

<?php
/**
 *  Multibyte equivalent for htmlentities() [lite version :)]
 *
 * @param string $str
 * @param string $encoding
 * @return string
 **/
function mb_htmlentities($str, $encoding = 'utf-8') {
   
mb_regex_encoding($encoding);
   
$pattern = array('<', '>', '"', '\'');
   
$replacement = array('&lt;', '&gt;', '&quot;', '&#39;');
    for (
$i=0; $i<sizeof($pattern); $i++) {
       
$str = mb_ereg_replace($pattern[$i], $replacement[$i], $str);
    }
    return
$str;
}
?>

A simple mb_str_ireplace() implementation - a faster (?) replacement for non-regexp multi-byte string replacement:

<?php
function mb_str_ireplace($co, $naCo, $wCzym)
{
   
$wCzymM = mb_strtolower($wCzym);
   
$coM    = mb_strtolower($co);
   
$offset = 0;
   
        while(!
is_bool($poz = mb_strpos($wCzymM, $coM, $offset)))
    {
       
$offset = $poz + mb_strlen($naCo);
       
$wCzym = mb_substr($wCzym, 0, $poz). $naCo .mb_substr($wCzym, $poz+mb_strlen($co));
       
$wCzymM = mb_strtolower($wCzym);
    }
   
    return
$wCzym;
}
?>
