How to add additional tag to a specific word using regular expression and php












2















I want to add into #indlude. i.e if



#include<stdio.h> 
#include<math.h>
int main()


is my target string then it will be :



  <span class="header">#include<stdio.h></span>
<span class="header">#include<math.h></span>
int main()


I tried using regular expression as follows:



<?php 
$input = '#include<stdio.h> int main()';
$input = preg_replace('/(#(w)+<(w)+.h>)/','<span class="header">$1</span>',$input);

echo $input;
?>


But no luck. Any idea?

    w is not w, w+ matches wwww. You probably meant to use '/^#include<[^>]+>$/m' and replace with '<span class="header">$0</span>'

  • Note that you should html encode '<' and '>' around <stdio.h>

  • Also, in your current regex . matches any character. You need to use . to match a ..

Unless you state otherwise, you don't need any capture groups or start of line anchors; just replace the fullstring match ($0)



Code: (Demo)



$string = <<<STRING
#include<math.h>
#include<stdio.h>

int main()
STRING;

echo preg_replace('~#include<[^>]+>~', '<span class="header">$0</span>', $string);


Output:



<span class="header">#include<math.h></span>
<span class="header">#include<stdio.h></span>

int main()


The negated character class ([^>]) will greedily match all characters between < and > -- this is preferable as a matter of pattern efficiency.

  • Huh, I didn't know that $0 matches the whole string. Have an upvote :)
