pcre_assoc

NAME

pcre_assoc() - A regular pattern substring extractor

SYNOPSIS

mixed *pcre_assoc(string input, string *patterns, mixed *token_aray, void|mixed default, void|int|mapping pcre_flags);

DESCRIPTION

analog with reg_assoc efun for backwards compatibility reasons but utilizing
the PCRE2 library.

The optional `pcre_flags` are integer bits from `src/include/pcre_flags.h`
or a mapping of named PCRE2 options (see `pcre_config()`). Defaults to 0.

Unicode properties are on by default

Patterns compile with PCRE2_UCP, so \d matches any Unicode digit and \w any letter. Patterns used to validate input now accept more than they did before the PCRE2 upgrade. Pass PCRE_NO_UCP (or ([ "no_ucp": 1 ])) to get the ASCII-only classes back -- see pcre_match for the full note.
