本文主要介绍了php之正则表达式捕获组与非捕获组,通过实例详解PHP之正则表达式捕获组与非捕获组的区别。希望对大家有所帮助。

在项目开发过程中正则表示经常会用到,可以说会正则表达式是每个程序员最基本的要求,初学者在刚接触正则表达式都感到很吃力。最近看到一位朋友的博客写的《PHP正则表达式》获益颇多,在章节对通配符以及捕获数据非常感兴趣。这两章节刚好也涉及到了正则表达式的捕获组和非捕获组的内容,以此来分析这方面的内容

  我们知道,在正则表达式下(x) 表示匹配'x'并记录匹配的值。这只是比较通俗的说法,甚至说这是不严谨的说法,只有()捕获组形式才会记录匹配的值。非捕获组则只匹配,不记录。

  捕获组:

  (pattern)

这种形式是我们见到最多的一种形式,匹配并返回捕获结果,可以嵌套,组号顺序从左到右依次排列‘。

$regex = '/(ab(c)+)+d(e)?/';    
$str = 'abccde';
$matches = array();
 
if(preg_match($regex, $str, $matches)){
    print_r($matches);
}
Copy after login


  匹配结果:

Array ( [0] => abccde [1] => abcc [2] => c [3] => e )
Copy after login

(?Ppattern)
这种方式虽然看起来在构造正则表达式的时候略微复杂一点,但实质上与(pattern)一样。最大的优势体现在对结果处理上,程序员可以直接根据自己设置的直接快速调用结果,而不用再去数需要的结果在第几个子组了。

$regex = &#39;/(?P<group1>\w(?P<group2>\w))abc(?P<group3>\w)45/&#39;;
$str = &#39;fsabcd45&#39;;
$matches = array();
 
if(preg_match($regex, $str, $matches)){
    print_r($matches);
}
Copy after login


  匹配结果:

Array ( [0] => fsabcd45 [group1] => fs [1] => fs [group2] => s [2] => s [group3] => d [3] => d )
Copy after login

\num

num是一个整数,是对捕获组的反向引用。 例如\2表示第二个子组匹配值,\表示第一个子组匹配值

$regex = &#39;/(\w)(\w)\2\1/&#39;;    
$str = &#39;abba&#39;;
$matches = array();
 
if(preg_match($regex, $str, $matches)){
    print_r($matches);
}
Copy after login

  匹配结果:

Array ( [0] => abba [1] => a [2] => b )
Copy after login


注意,这里我疏忽了一个小细节,一开始我第一样代码是 $regex = “/(\w)(\w)\2\1/”; 结果返回无匹配结果,经过调试后,发现这里只能用' '。'与" 用法差别大家还是需要注意下。

  \k< name >


了解了(?Ppattern)与\num,这个就不难理解了。\k< name >是对命名捕获组的反向引用。其中 name 是捕获组名。

$regex=&#39;/(?P<name>\w)abc\k<name>/&#39;;
$str="fabcf";
echo preg_match_all($regex, $str,$matches);
print_r($matches);
Copy after login

  匹配结果:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => fabcf ) [name] => Array ( [0] => f ) [1] => Array ( [0] => f ) )
Copy after login

  非捕获组:

  (?:pattern)

  与(pattern)的唯一区别是,匹配pattern但不捕获匹配结果。这里便不再举例。

  还有四种方式实际上讲的是一个事情:预查。

  预查分为正向预查与反向预查。根据字面理解,正向预查是判断匹配字符串后面某些字符存在与否,而反向预查则是判断匹配字符串前面某些字符存在与否。

  正向预查判断存在使用(?=pattern),判断不存在使用(?!pattern)。

  反向预查判断存在使用(?<=pattern),判断不存在使用(?

$regx=&#39;/(?<=a)bc(?=d)/&#39;;
$str="abcd ebcd abce ebca";
if(preg_match_all($regx, $str, $matches)){
    print_r($matches);
}
Copy after login

  匹配结果:

Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => bc) )
Copy after login


  这四种形式使用的是否只要注意好相对匹配字符串的位置和断言肯定还是否定,就会很快掌握。

  另外,预查的四种形式是零宽度的,匹配的时候只做一个判断,本身是不占位置的。/HE(?=L)LLO/ 与HELLO匹配,而/HE(?=L)LO/与HELLO是不匹配的。毕竟但从字节数上两者就是不匹配的,前者只有4个,而后者有5个。

以上就是PHP之正则表达式捕获组与非捕获组详解的全部内容,希望对大家有所启迪。

JWT is an open standard based on JSON, used to securely transmit information between parties, mainly for identity authentication and information exchange. 1. JWT consists of three parts: Header, Payload and Signature. 2. The working principle of JWT includes three steps: generating JWT, verifying JWT and parsing Payload. 3. When using JWT for authentication in PHP, JWT can be generated and verified, and user role and permission information can be included in advanced usage. 4. Common errors include signature verification failure, token expiration, and payload oversized. Debugging skills include using debugging tools and logging. 5. Performance optimization and best practices include using appropriate signature algorithms, setting validity periods reasonably,
