Summary of String functions

A detailed description of string functions

Addcslashes-adds a backslash escape character for some characters inside a string

Grammar:

String Addcslashes (String $str, string $charlist);

Returns a string that has a backslash in front of the character in the parameter charlist list.

addslashes-characters inside a string are escaped in the specified manner

Grammar:

String addslashes (STRING$STR);

Returns a string that, for the purposes of the database query statement, is preceded by a backslash in front of some characters.

String chr (int $ascII);

Returns the character specified by the corresponding ASCII.

Chunk_split-divide a string into small pieces at a certain length of character

Grammar:

String Chunk_split (String $str [, int$length=7[,string $end = "\ r \ n"]);

Use this function to split a string into small chunks.

Convert_cyr_string-converting Slavic characters to other characters

Description

String convert_cyr_string (String $str, String $from, string $to);

This function converts the given string from one Cyrillic character to another, returning the converted string.

convert_uudecode-decrypting a string

Description

String Convert_uudecode (String $data)

Convert_uudecode () decodes a uuencode encoded string.

convert_uuencode-Encrypt a string

Description

String Convert_uuencode (String $data)

Convert_uuencode () encodes a string using the uuencode algorithm.

The uuencode algorithm converts all (including binary) strings into characters that can be output and can be safely applied to network transmissions. Data encoded using Uuencode will be about 35% larger than the source data.

count_chars-returns the character usage information for a string

Description

Mixed Count_chars (string $string [, int $mode = 0])

Counts each byte value in a string (0: 255) The number of occurrences, using multiple modes to return results.

Generates a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check code polynomial for str . This is typically used to check the integrity of the data being transmitted.

crypt-one-way hash encryption function

Description

String crypt (String $str [, String $salt])

Crypt () returns a hash string based on the standard UNIX DES algorithm or other available alternative algorithms on the system.

Echo-used to display some content

Description

void Echo (String $arg 1 [, String $ ...])

Output all parameters.

Echo is not a function (it's a language structure), so you don't have to use parentheses to indicate arguments, single quotes, double quotes. Echo (unlike other language constructs) does not behave like a function, so it is not always possible to use the context of a function. Also, if you want to pass multiple arguments to echo, you cannot use parentheses.

Explode-converts a string into an array form with a separator

Description

Array explode (string $delimiter, string $string [, int $limit])

This function returns an array of strings, each of which is a substring of string, separated by the delimiter of the strings as the boundary points.

fprintf-returns data as required and writes directly to the document stream

Description

int fprintf (Resource $handle, String $format [, Mixed $args [, mixed $ ...])

Writes a string that is formatted according to format into the stream opened by the handle handle.

Get_html_translation_table-returning HTML entities that can be converted

Description

Get_html_translation_table () returns the converted table after Htmlspecialchars () and htmlentities () processing.

Note:

Special characters can be used in a variety of ways. For example: " can be converted into ", & #34; or & #x22. Get_html_translation_table () returns one of the most commonly used.

hebrev-converting Hebrew encoded strings to visual text

Description

The function will try to avoid breaking words.

hebrevc-converting Hebrew encoded strings to visual text

Description

String Hebrevc (String $hebrew _text [, int $max _chars_per_line = 0])

The only difference between this function and Hebrev () is that this function converts additional line characters (\ n) to "<br>\n".

The function will try to avoid breaking words.

Inverse of the html_entity_decode-htmlentities () function to convert HTML entities to characters

Description

String Html_entity_decode (string $string [, int $flags =ent_compat | ent_html401 [, String $encoding =ini_get ("Default_charset")])

Html_entity_decode () is htmlentities () instead, it puts all the HTML entities in the string with its applicable characteristics.

Rather, this function will necessarily effectively select the file type-that is, the XML, which does not decode entities that may be in some DTD definitions and B-named) characters in the character set with the selected encoding and is allowed in the selected file type, for all entities (including all numeric entities). All the other entities are left behind.

htmlentities-convert some characters in a string to HTML entities

Description

String Htmlentities (string $string [, int $flags =ent_compat | ent_html401 [, String$encoding =ini_get ("Default_charset") [, BOOL $double _encode =true]])

This feature is Htmlspecialchars () in various ways the same, except Htmlentities (), all characters are translated into these entities as HTML character entity equivalents.

If you want to decode the opposite (reverse) you can use Html_entity_decode ().

Inverse of the htmlspecialchars_decode-htmlspecialchars () function to convert HTML entities to characters

Description

String Htmlspecialchars_decode (string $string [, int $flags =ent_compat | ENT_HTML401])

This function is exactly the opposite of Htmlspecialchars (). It converts special HTML entities back to normal characters.

The entities being converted are: &amp;, &quot; (when no ent_noquotes is set), & #039; (set Ent_ QUOTES ), &lt; and &gt;.

htmlspecialchars-convert some characters in a string to HTML entities

Description

String Htmlspecialchars (string $string [, int $flags =ent_compat | ent_html401 [, String$encoding =ini_get ("Default_charset") [, BOOL $double _encode =true]])

Some of the attributes in HTML have special meanings that should be given to HTML entities if they maintain their meaning. This function returns a string with these conversions. If you need to have the associated named entity translate all the substring of the input string, instead of using htmlentities ().

If the input string is passed to this function and the last file shares the same character set, this feature is fully prepared to contain the input most in an HTML document. If, however, the input can represent characters that are not encoded in the final Document character set, and you want to retain these characters (such as numbers or named entities), this feature and Htmlentities () (encoded only, named entity equivalents) may not be sufficient. You can use Mb_encode_numericentity () instead.

Translation methods:

' and ' (&) become "&amp;"

"" (double quotes) becomes ' &quot; when Ent_noquotes is not set.

"'" (single quote) becomes ' and # 039; "(or" only if ent_quotes is set;).

"<" (less than) becomes "<<"

">" (Greater Than) becomes ">"

Description

String implode (string $glue, array $pieces)

String implode (array $pieces)

join-convert an array to a string, alias of the Implode () function

levenshtein-Calculate the difference size of two words

Description

int Levenshtein (String $str 1, String $str 2)

int Levenshtein (String $str 1, String $str 2, int $cost _ins, int $cost _rep, Int$cost_del)

Edit distance refers to the minimum number of characters required to str1 a string to be converted to a str2 by substitution, insertion, deletion, etc. between two strings. The complexity of the algorithm is O (m*n), where n and m are the lengths of str1 and str2 respectively (when and algorithm complexity is O (max (n,m) **3) Similar_text (), this function is quite good, although it is still time consuming. ）。

In its simplest form, the function takes only two strings as arguments, and calculates the number of operations required to convert str1 to str2 by inserting, replacing, and deleting operations.

The second variant takes three additional parameters to define the number of INSERT, replace, and delete operations. This variant is more versatile and adaptable than the first, but less efficient.
