replace string on condition - php

问题

i am facing an issue here , trying to replace string with another under a condition. check the example :

$data = '
tony is playing with toys.
tony is playing with "those toys that are not his" ';

so i want to replace toys with cards . but only which is NOT in ques (").

i know how to replace all words that are toys .

$data = str_replace("toys", "cards",$data);

but i don't know how to add a condition which specifies to replace only the one's which are not in the (").

can anyone help please ?

Here's one simple way to do it. Split/explode your string using quotation marks. The first (0-index) element and each even-numbered index in the resulting array is unquoted text; the odd numbers are inside quotes. Example:

Test "testing 123" Test etc.
^0    ^1          ^2

Then, just replace the magic words (toys) with the replacement (cards) in only the even-numbered array elements.

Sample code:

function replace_not_quoted($needle, $replace, $haystack) {
    $arydata = explode('"', $haystack);

    $count = count($arydata);
    for($s = 0; $s < $count; $s+=2) {
        $arydata[$s] = preg_replace('~'.preg_quote($needle, '~').'~', $replace, $arydata[$s]);
    }
    return implode($arydata, '"');
}

$data = 'tony is playing with toys.
tony is playing with toys... "those toys that are not his" but they are "nice toys," those toys';

echo replace_not_quoted('toys', 'cards', $data);

So, here, the sample data is:

tony is playing with toys.
tony is playing with toys... "those toys that are not his" but they are "nice toys," those toys

The algorithm works as expected and produces:

tony is playing with cards.
tony is playing with cards... "those toys that are not his" but they are "nice toys," those cards

You'll need to parse the string to identify the regions that are not within quotes. You can do this with a state-machine or regular-expression that supports counting.

Here's a pseudocode example:

typedef Pair<int,int> Region;
List<Region> regions;

bool inQuotes = false;
int start = 0;
for(int i=0;i<str.length;i++) {
    char c = str[i];
    if( !inQuotes && c == '"' ) {
        start = i;
        inQuotes = true;
    } else if( inQuotes && c == '"' ) {
        regions.add( new Region( start, i ) );
        inQuotes = false;
    }

}

Then split the string up according to regions, each alternate region will be in quotes.

Challenge for the reader: get it so it handles escaped quotes :)

You could use regex and use a negative lookaround to find the line without the quotes then do a string replace on that.

^((?!\"(.+)?toys(.+)?\").)*

e.g.

preg_match('/^((?!\"(.+)?toys(.+)?\").)*/', $data, $matches);
$line_to_replace = $matches[0];
$string_with_cards = str_replace("toys", "cards", $line_to_replace);

OR if there are multiple matches you might want to iterate over the array.
