preg_replace_callback
PREG_REPLACE_CALLBACK(3) 1 PREG_REPLACE_CALLBACK(3)preg_replace_callback - Perform a regular expression search and replace using a callbackSYNOPSIS
mixed preg_replace_callback (mixed $pattern, callable $callback, mixed $subject, [int $limit = -1], [int &$count])
DESCRIPTION
The behavior of this function is almost identical to preg_replace(3), except for the fact that instead of $replacement parameter, one
should specify a $callback.
PARAMETERS
o $pattern
- The pattern to search for. It can be either a string or an array with strings.
o $callback
- A callback that will be called and passed an array of matched elements in the $subject string. The callback should return the
replacement string. This is the callback signature:
string handler (array $matches) You'll often need the $callback function for a preg_replace_callback(3) in just one place. In
this case you can use an anonymous function to declare the callback within the call to preg_replace_callback(3). By doing it this
way you have all information for the call in one place and do not clutter the function namespace with a callback function's name
not used anywhere else.
Example #1
preg_replace_callback(3) and anonymous function
<?php
/* a unix-style command line filter to convert uppercase
* letters at the beginning of paragraphs to lowercase */
$fp = fopen("php://stdin", "r") or die("can't read stdin");
while (!feof($fp)) {
$line = fgets($fp);
$line = preg_replace_callback(
'|<p>s*w|',
function ($matches) {
return strtolower($matches[0]);
},
$line
);
echo $line;
}
fclose($fp);
?>
o $subject
- The string or an array with strings to search and replace.
o $limit
- The maximum possible replacements for each pattern in each $subject string. Defaults to -1 (no limit).
o $count
- If specified, this variable will be filled with the number of replacements done.
RETURN VALUES preg_replace_callback(3) returns an array if the $subject parameter is an array, or a string otherwise. On errors the return value is NULL
If matches are found, the new subject will be returned, otherwise $subject will be returned unchanged.

|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |

EXAMPLES
Example #2
preg_replace_callback(3) example
<?php
// this text was used in 2002
// we want to get this up to date for 2003
$text = "April fools day is 04/01/2002
";
$text.= "Last christmas was 12/24/2001
";
// the callback function
function next_year($matches)
{
// as usual: $matches[0] is the complete match
// $matches[1] the match for the first subpattern
// enclosed in '(...)' and so on
return $matches[1].($matches[2]+1);
}
echo preg_replace_callback(
"|(d{2}/d{2}/)(d{4})|",
"next_year",
$text);
?>
The above example will output:
April fools day is 04/01/2003
Last christmas was 12/24/2002
Example #3
preg_replace_callback(3) using recursive structure to handle encapsulated BB code
<?php
$input = "plain [indent] deep [indent] deeper [/indent] deep [/indent] plain";
function parseTagsRecursive($input)
{
$regex = '#[indent]((?:[^[]|[(?!/?indent])|(?R))+)[/indent]#';
if (is_array($input)) {
$input = '<div style="margin-left: 10px">'.$input[1].'</div>';
}
return preg_replace_callback($regex, 'parseTagsRecursive', $input);
}
$output = parseTagsRecursive($input);
echo $output;
?>
