This question is basically the same as How to extract the string in the quotes (either double quotes or single quotes), except in PHP.
Basically, I want a function like this:
function extract_tokens($text) {
preg_match_all('/Foo\((?:\'(?<text>.*?)\'|"(?<text>.*?)")\)/', $text, $matches);
return $matches['text'];
}
However, this is not allowed in PHP: PHP Warning: preg_match_all(): Compilation failed: two named subpatterns have the same name
.
My current solution seems overly complicated for a simple goal:
function extract_tokens($text) {
preg_match_all('/Foo\((\'(.*?)\'|"(.*?)")\)/', $text, $matches);
return array_map(function($token) {
return substr($token, 1, strlen($token) - 2);
}, $matches[1]);
}
