note 85697 added to function.preg-match

If you need to match specific wildcards in IP address, you can use this regexp: <?php $ip = '10.1.66.22'; $cmp = '10.1.??.*'; $cnt = preg_match('/^' .str_replace( array('\*','\?'), array('(.*?)','[0-9]'), preg_quote($cmp)).'$/', $ip); echo $cnt; ?> where '?' is exactly one digit and '*' is any number of any characters. $cmp mask can be provided wild by user, $cnt equals (int) 1 on match or 0. ---- Server IP: 147.32.160.17 Probable Submitter: 85.135.75.196 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.preg-match.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/85697 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/85697 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/85697 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
