A better way to replace emoticons in PHP?

问题

Right now I am using this function for emoticons:

function emoticons($text) {
        $icons = array(
                ':)'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_smile" />',
                ':-)'   =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_smile" />',
                ':D'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_laugh" />',
                ':d'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="laugh" class="icon_laugh" />',
                ';)'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="wink" class="icon_wink" />',
                ':P'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" />',
                ':-P'   =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" />',
                ':-p'   =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" />',
                ':p'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" />',
                ':('    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="sad face" class="icon_sad" />',
                ':o'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shock" />',
                ':O'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shock" />',
                ':0'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shack" />',
                ':|'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" />',
                ':-|'   =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" />',
                ':/'    =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" />',
                ':-/'   =>  '<img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" />'
        );
        return strtr($text, $icons);
    }

But if you enter a link the :/ part of http:// gets replaced:

Same with code (4 spaces in front of each line to create code box), but for some reason a simple ) gets replaced (with a wink) as well:

Is there a better solution to this than replacing all of the icons like this? It obviously doesn't work good. I have searched on Google a lot and haven't found any better way. I also tried putting a space before each emoticon in the associative array above but that doesn't work if you just enter a :) without anything before it.

回答1:

You can use the preg_replace function and then use word boundaries in the regular expression.

 foreach($icons as $icon=>$image) {
      $icon = preg_quote($icon);
      $text = preg_replace("~\b$icon\b~",$image,$text);
 }

You need to use word boundaries and not white space because this will take care of the start and end points to. Needing a space before means that just a :) won't be found.

回答2:

Regular expressions are slow for this if the text is big, as much as i like them, you should only insert an icon if it's surrounded by spaces, that way your users won't riot when trying to write urls.

I'm not sure whether it will work or not, but I'd try to put some extra spaces like this:

function emoticons($text) {
    $icons = array(
            ' :) '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_smile" /> ',
            ' :-) '   =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_smile" /> ',
            ' :D '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="smile" class="icon_laugh" /> ',
            ' :d '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="laugh" class="icon_laugh" /> ',
            ' ;) '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="wink" class="icon_wink" /> ',
            ' :P '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" /> ',
            ' :-P '   =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" /> ',
            ' :-p '   =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" /> ',
            ' :p '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="tounge" class="icon_tounge" /> ',
            ' :( '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="sad face" class="icon_sad" /> ',
            ' :o '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shock" /> ',
            ' :O '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shock" /> ',
            ' :0 '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="shock" class="icon_shack" /> ',
            ' :| '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" /> ',
            ' :-| '   =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" /> ',
            ' :/ '    =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" /> ',
            ' :-/ '   =>  ' <img src="/images/blank.gif" alt="straight face" class="icon_straight" /> '
    );
    return strtr($text, $icons);
}

I'd recommend two libraries:

Emojify: https://github.com/HallgrenNetworks/emojify

PHP Emoji: https://github.com/iamcal/php-emoji

These will deal with these cases for you.

回答5:

I think using regular expressions instead of just defining your emoticons. This could look like

// replaces a :) when it is surrounded by whitespaces
return preg_replace('/\s:)\s/', '<img ...>', $text);
