REGULAR EXPRESSION
What is Regular Expression?

• PHP is an open-source language commonly used for website creation, it

provides regular expression functions as an important tool.

• Many available modern languages and tools apply regexes on very large
files and strings.

• “A sequence of characters that forms a search pattern.”

• When you search for data in a text, you can use this search pattern to
describe what you are searching for.

• It can be a single character, or a more complicated pattern.

• To perform all types of text search and text replace operations.

REGULAR EXPRESSION
• Commonly known as a regex (regexes) A sequence of characters
describing a special search pattern in the form of text string.

• The exact sequence of characters are unpredictable, so the regex helps

in fetching the required strings based on a pattern definition.

• A compact way of describing a string pattern that matches a particular

amount of text.
REGULAR EXPRESSION
Regular Expression Syntax :
• Regular expressions are Strings composed of Delimiters, A pattern
and Optional modifiers.
$exp = "/MU/i";

• Here / is the delimiter, MU is the pattern that is being searched for, and i
is a modifier that makes the search case-insensitive.

• Regular expressions are known to accomplish tasks such as validating

email addresses, IP address etc.

• The delimiter Can be any character that is Not a letter, number, backslash
or space.

• Most common delimiter  forward slash (/)

• When any pattern contains forward slashes it is convenient to choose

REGULAR EXPRESSION
Advantages and uses of Regular expressions :

• Regular expressions help in validation of text strings.

• It offers a powerful tool for analyzing, searching a pattern and modifying

the text data.

• It helps in searching specific string pattern and extracting matching

results in a flexible manner.

• With the help of in-built regexes functions, easy and simple solutions are
provided for identifying patterns.

• It effectively saves a lot of development time, which are in search of

specific string pattern.
REGULAR EXPRESSION
Advantages and uses of Regular expressions :

• It helps in important user information validations like email address,

phone numbers and IP address.

• It helps in highlighting special keywords in a file based on search result or

input.

• It helps in identifying specific template tags and replacing those data with
the actual data as per the requirement.

• Regexes are very useful for checking password strength and form
validations.

Operators in Regular Expression:
OPERATOR DESCRIPTION

^ It denotes the start of string.

$ It denotes the end of string.

. It denotes almost any single character.

() It denotes a group of expressions.

[] It finds a range of characters for example [xyz] means x, y or z .

[^] It finds the items which are not in range for example [^abc] means NOT a, b or c.

– (dash) It finds for character range within the given item range for example [a-z] means a through z.

| (pipe) It is the logical OR for example x | y means x OR y.

? It denotes zero or one of preceding character or item range.

REGULAR EXPRESSION
Operators in Regular Expression
OPERATOR DESCRIPTION

* It denotes zero or more of preceding character or item range.

+ It denotes one or more of preceding character or item range.

It denotes exactly n times of preceding character or item range for

{n}
example n{2}.

It denotes at least n times of preceding character or item range for

{n, }
example n{2, }.
It denotes at least n but not more than m times for example n{2, 4}
{n, m}
means 2 to 4 of n.
\ It denotes the escape character.
REGULAR EXPRESSION
Special Character Classes in Regular Expressions

SPECIAL
MEANING
CHARACTER
\n It denotes a new line.
\r It denotes a carriage return.
\t It denotes a tab.
\v It denotes a vertical tab.
\f It denotes a form feed.
\xxx It denotes octal character.
\xhh It denotes hex character.
REGULAR EXPRESSION

Regular Expressions – Notes

By default, regular expressions are case sensitive.

There is a difference between strings inside single quotes and strings inside
double quotes in PHP.

The former are treated literally, whereas for the strings inside double-quotes
means the content of the variable is printed instead of just printing their
names.
REGULAR EXPRESSION

Common Regular Expression Functions

Function Description

To execute a pattern match on a string.

preg_match()
Returns 1 if the pattern was found in the string and 0 if not

Returns the number of times the pattern was found in the string, which
preg_match_all()
may also be 0

Returns a new string where matched patterns have been replaced

preg_replace()
with another string

To perform a pattern match on a string followed by the splitting of

preg_split()
results in to numeric array.
REGULAR EXPRESSION

1. preg_match( )

Syntax : preg_match (pattern, input, matches, flags, offset)

This function returns whether a match was found in a string.

Example: Use a regular expression to do a case-insensitive search for "MU"

in a string:
<?php
$str = "Visit MU to know MU";
$pattern = "/MU/i";
echo preg_match($pattern, $str);
?>

Output
1
 REGULAR EXPRESSION
preg_match( )

Parameter Description

pattern Required. Contains a regular expression indicating what to search for

input Required. The string in which the search will be performed

Optional. The variable used in this parameter will be populated with an array containing all of the matches
matches
that were found

• Optional. A set of options that change how the matches array is structured: PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE
- When this option is enabled, each match, instead of being a string, will be an array where the first
element is a substring containing the match and the second element is the position of the first
flags
character of the substring in the input.
• PREG_UNMATCHED_AS_NULL - When this option is enabled, unmatched sub patterns will be returned
as NULL instead of as an empty string.

Optional. Defaults to 0. Indicates how far into the string to begin searching. The preg_match() function will
offset
not find matches that occur before the position given in this parameter
REGULAR EXPRESSION

preg_match( ) Example-2

<?php
$str = "Welcome to MU for the visit.";
$pattern = "/mu/i";
echo preg_match($pattern, $str);
echo "</br>";
preg_match($pattern, $str, $matches);
print_r($matches);
echo "</br>";
preg_match($pattern, $str, $matches, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE);
print_r($matches);
?>
Output:
1
Array ( [0] => MU )
Array ( [0] => Array ( [0] => MU [1] => 11 ) )
REGULAR EXPRESSION

2. preg_match_all()

Syntax : preg_match_all(pattern, input, matches, flags, offset)

This function will tell you how many matches were found for a pattern in a string.

Example: Use a regular expression to do a case-insensitive count of the number of

occurrences of "MU" in a string:

<?php
$str = "Visit MU to know MU and also to see MU.";
$pattern = "/MU/i";
echo preg_match_all($pattern, $str);
?>
// Outputs 3
 REGULAR EXPRESSION
2. preg_match_all()
Parameter Description

pattern Required. Contains a regular expression indicating what to search for

input Required. The string in which the search will be performed

matches Optional. The variable used in this parameter will be populated with an array containing all of the matches that were found

• Optional. A set of options that change how the matches array is structured.

One of the following structures may be selected:

PREG_PATTERN_ORDER - Default. Each element in the matches array is an array of matches from the same grouping in the
regular expression, with index zero corresponding to matches of the whole expression and the remaining indices for sub pattern
matches.

flags • PREG_SET_ORDER - Each element in the matches array contains matches of all groupings for one of the found matches in
the string.

• Any number of the following options may be applied: PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE - When this option is enabled, each match,
instead of being a string, will be an array where the first element is a substring containing the match and the second element is
the position of the first character of the substring in the input.
• PREG_UNMATCHED_AS_NULL - When this option is enabled, unmatched subpatterns will be returned as NULL instead of as
an empty string.

Optional. Defaults to 0. Indicates how far into the string to begin searching. The preg_match() function will not find matches that
offset
occur before the position given in this parameter
 REGULAR EXPRESSION

2. preg_match_all( ) – Example 2 Output:

[1] => C
)
)
REGULAR EXPRESSION

3. preg_replace( )
This function will replace all of the matches of the pattern in a string with another string based on
pattern/expression.

Syntax: preg_replace(patterns, replacements, input, limit, count)

Use a case-insensitive regular expression to replace MU with Marwadi University in a string:

<?php
$str = "Visit MU to know MU.";
$pattern = "/MU/i";
echo $str;
echo "<br/>";
echo preg_replace($pattern, "Marwadi University", $str);
?>

// Outputs
Visit MU to know MU.
Visit Marwadi University to know Marwadi University.
REGULAR EXPRESSION

3. preg_replace( )

replacements Required. A replacement string or an array of replacement strings

Required. The string or array of strings in which replacements are being
input
performed

Optional. Defaults to -1, meaning unlimited. Sets a limit to how many

limit
replacements can be done in each string
Optional. After the function has executed, this variable will contain a number
count
indicating how many replacements were performed
REGULAR EXPRESSION

4. preg_split( )
The preg_split() function breaks a string into an array using matches of a regular expression as
separators.

print_r($components);
?>

Output:
Array
(
[0] => 1970
[1] => 01
[2] => 01
[3] => 00
[4] => 00

)
Note: The regular expression \s is a predefined character class. It indicates a single whitespace character.
REGULAR EXPRESSION
4. preg_split( )
 REGULAR EXPRESSION
4. preg_split( ) – Example – 2 Output:
Array
(
[0] => 1970
Using the PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE flag:
[1] => -
[2] => 01
<?php
[3] => -
$date = "1970-01-01 00:00:00";
[4] => 01
$pattern = "/([-\s:])/";
[5] =>
$components = preg_split($pattern, $date, -1,
[6] => 00
PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
[7] => :
print_r($components);
[8] => 00
?>
[9] => :
[10] => 00
)
REGULAR EXPRESSION
5. preg_quote( )

preg_quote() takes string and puts a backslash in front of every character that is part of the regular
expression syntax.

Syntax : preg_quote(input, delimiter)

<?php
$keywords = '$40 for a g3/400';
$keywords = preg_quote($keywords, '/');
echo $keywords;
?>

Output:
\$40 for a g3\/400
REGULAR EXPRESSION
5. preg_quote( )

Use preg_quote() to safely use special characters in a regular expression:

The preg_quote() function adds a backslash to characters that have a special meaning in regular
expressions so that searches for the literal characters can be done.

This function is useful when using user input in regular expressions.

Syntax: preg_quote(input, delimiter)

REGULAR EXPRESSION
5. preg_quote( ) – Example – 2

<?php
$search = preg_quote(“://”, ”/”);
echo $search;
echo “</br>”;
$input = 'https://www.w3schools.com/';
$pattern = "/$search/";
if(preg_match($pattern, $input))
{
echo "The input is a URL.";
}
else
{
echo "The input is not a URL.";
}
?>
Output:
\:\/\/
The input is a URL.
REGULAR EXPRESSION
6. preg_grep()

The preg_grep( ) function returns an array containing only elements from the input that match the
given pattern.

Syntax : preg_grep(pattern, input, flags)

REGULAR EXPRESSION
6. preg_grep() – Example - Get items from an array which begin with "p":

<?php

$input = [ "Red", "Pink", "Green", "Blue", "Purple“ ];

$result = preg_grep("/^p/i", $input);

print_r($result);

?>

Output:
Array
(
[1] => Pink
[4] => Purple
)
METACHARACTERS
Meta characters

• There are two kinds of characters that are used in regular expressions
these are: Regular characters and Meta characters.

• Regular characters are those characters which have a ‘literal’ meaning

• Meta characters are those characters which have ‘special’ meaning in

regular expression.
METACHARACTERS
METACHARACTER DESCRIPTION

. It matches any single character other than a new line.

^ It matches the beginning of string.

$ It matches the string pattern at the end of the string.

* It matches zero or more characters.

+ It matches preceding character appear atleast once.

\ It is used to escape meta characters in regex.

a-z It matches lower case letters.

A-Z It matches upper case letters.

0-9 It matches any number between 0 and 9.

META CHARACTERS
Notes:

Meta characters are very powerful in regular expressions pattern matching

solutions. It handles a lot of complex pattern processing.

• Every character which is not a meta character is definitely a regular

character.

• Every regular character matches the same character by itself.

METACHARACTERS
Following is the list of meta characters which can be used in PERL
Style Regular Expressions.
 . a single character (dot)
 \s a whitespace character (space, tab, newline)
 \S non-whitespace character
 \d a digit (0-9)
 \D a non-digit
 \w a word character (a-z, A-Z, 0-9, _)
 \W a non-word character
 [aeiou] matches a single character in the given set
 [^aeiou] matches a single character outside the given set
 (foo|bar|baz) matches any of the alternatives specified
METACHARACTERS

QUANTIFIER MEANING

WEB SCRAPING USING cURL
What is PHP cURL?

• cURL stands for the client URL.

• PHP cURL is a library that is the most powerful extension of PHP.

• It allows the user to create the HTTP requests in PHP.

• cURL library is used to communicate with other servers with the help of a
wide range of protocols.

• cURL allows the user to send and receive the data through the URL
syntax.

• cURL makes it easy to communicate between different websites and

domains.

are set. Its purpose is simply to execute the predefined CURL session (given by ch).

• curl_setopt($ch, option, value) set an option for a cURL session identified by the ch parameter. Option
specifies which option is to set, and value specifies the value for the given option.

• curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true) return page contents. If set to false then no output
will be returned.

• curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url) pass URL as a parameter. This is your target server website address.
This is the URL you want to get from the internet.

• curl_exec($ch) grab URL and pass it to the variable for showing output.

• curl_close($ch) close curl resource, and free up system resources.

WEB SERVICES
• A Web Service is any service that is available over the Internet.

• Web services are open standard (XML, SOAP, HTTP, etc.) based web applications
that interact with other web applications for the purpose of exchanging data.

• It uses a standardized XML messaging system and is not tied to any one operating
system or programming language.

• A Web Service is seen as an application accessible to other applications over the

Web.

• A Web Service is a software system identified by an URL, whose public interfaces

and bindings are defined and described using XML.

• For example, a client invokes a web service by sending an XML message, then waits
for a corresponding XML response. As all communication is in XML, web services are
not tied to any one operating system or programming language — Java can talk
with Perl; Windows applications can talk with Unix applications.
WEB SERVICES
Components of Web Services

• The basic web services platform is XML + HTTP. All the standard web services work
using the following components −

• SOAP - (Simple Object Access Protocol)

• UDDI - (Universal Description, Discovery and Integration)
• WSDL - (Web Services Description Language)
WEB SERVICES
How Does a Web Service Work?

• A web service enables communication among various applications by using open

standards such as HTML, XML, WSDL, and SOAP. A web service takes the help of −

• XML to tag the data

• SOAP to transfer a message
• WSDL to describe the availability of service.
WEB SERVICES ARCHITECTURE
Web Services Architecture
 WEB SERVICES ARCHITECTURE
• The Architecture covers three primary entities, which are Service Provider,
Service Registry, and Service Requester.

• Web Services are independent from programming languages, so any

programming language can be used by the developer to create a service

• The service will then be described with WSDL for deploying.

• The service provider publishes the service in a Service Registry, which can
be used for service requesters in public

• The Service Registry contains complete information about the service.

• The service requester will look for services, which it needs and retracts
service information.

• Now, service requester can communicate with its corresponding service.
