strtok — 标记分割字符串
可选 token （不支持命名参数）：
strtok() 将字符串 string 分割为若干子字符串，每个子字符串以
token 中的字符分割。这也就意味着，如果有个字符串是 "This is an example string"，
你可以使用空格字符作为 token，将这句话分割成独立的单词。
注意，仅第一次调用 strtok 函数时才使用 string 参数。
随后每次调用 strtok 都将只使用 token 参数，因为它会记住它在当前字符串中的位置。
如果要重新开始分割一个新的字符串，你需要再次使用 string 参数来调用 strtok 函数来对其进行初始化。
注意，可以在 token 参数中使用多个字符。字符串将被 token 参数中任何一个字符分割。
注意:
这个函数的行为可能与熟悉 explode() 的人期望略有不同。 首先，在解析的字符串中，两个或多个连续的
token的 字符被认为是单一的分隔符。 此外，位于字符串开始或结束处的token将被忽略。 例如，如果使用一个字符串";aaa;;bbb;"，连续调用 strtok() 并将";"作为一个token将返回字符串 "aaa" 和 "bbb"，然后返回false。 因此，字符串将仅被拆分为两个元素，而explode(";", $string)将返回一个包含 5 个元素的数组。
string被分成若干子字符串的原始字符串。
token
分割 string 时使用的分界字符。
标记后的字符串，如果没有更多标记可用，则返回 false 。
示例 #1 strtok() 示例
<?php
$string = "This is\tan example\nstring";
/* 使用制表符和换行符作为分界符 */
$tok = strtok($string, " \n\t");
while ($tok !== false) {
echo "Word=$tok<br />";
$tok = strtok(" \n\t");
}
?>
示例 #2 当 strtok() 找不到标记时的反应
<?php
$first_token = strtok('/something', '/');
$second_token = strtok('/');
var_dump($first_token, $second_token);
?>以上示例会输出：
string(9) "something"
bool(false)
示例 #3 strtok() 和 explode() 的不同点
<?php
$string = ";aaa;;bbb;";
$parts = [];
$tok = strtok($string, ";");
while ($tok !== false) {
$parts[] = $tok;
$tok = strtok(";");
}
echo json_encode($parts),"\n";
$parts = explode(";", $string);
echo json_encode($parts),"\n";以上示例会输出：
["aaa","bbb"] ["","aaa","","bbb",""]
<?php
// strtok example
$str = 'Hello to all of Ukraine';

Result:
Hello to allIf you have memory-usage critical solution, you should keep in mind, that strtok function holds input string parameter (or reference to it?) in memory after usage.
<?php
function tokenize($str, $token_symbols) {
$word = strtok($str, $token_symbols);
while (false !== $word) {
// do something here...
$word = strtok($token_symbols);
}
}
?>
Test-cases with handling ~10MB plain-text file:
Case #1 - unset $str variable
<?php
$token_symbols = " \t\n";
$str = file_get_contents('10MB.txt'); // mem usage 9.75383758545 MB (memory_get_usage() / 1024 / 1024));
tokenize($str, $token_symbols); // mem usage 9.75400161743 MB
unset($str); // 9.75395584106 MB
?>
Case #1 result: memory is still used
Case #2 - call strtok again
<?php
$token_symbols = " \t\n";
$str = file_get_contents('10MB.txt'); // 9.75401306152 MB
tokenize($str, $token_symbols); // 9.75417709351
strtok('', ''); // 9.75421524048
?>
Case #2 result: memory is still used
Case #3 - call strtok again AND unset $str variable
<?php
$token_symbols = " \t\n";
$str = file_get_contents('10MB.txt'); // 9.75410079956 MB
tokenize($str, $token_symbols); // 9.75426483154 MB
unset($str);
strtok('', ''); // 0.0543975830078 MB
?>
Case #3 result: memory is free
So, better solution for tokenize function:
<?php
function tokenize($str, $token_symbols, $token_reset = true) {
$word = strtok($str, $token_symbols);
while (false !== $word) {
// do something here...
$word = strtok($token_symbols);
}
if($token_reset)
strtok('', '');
}

http://example.com/index.phpSimple way to tokenize search parameters, including double or single quoted keys. If only one quote is found, the rest of the string is assumed to be part of that token.
<?php
$token = strtok($keywords,' ');
while ($token) {
// find double quoted tokens
if ($token{0}=='"') { $token .= ' '.strtok('"').'"'; }
// find single quoted tokens
if ($token{0}=="'") { $token .= ' '.strtok("'")."'"; }
$tokens[] = $token;
$token = strtok(' ');
}
?>
Use substr(1,strlen($token)) and remove the part that adds the trailing quotes if you want your output without quotes.Might be pointing out the obvious but if you'd rather use a for loop rather than a while (to keep the token strings on the same line for readability for example), it can be done. Added bonus, it doesn't put a $tok variable outside the loop itself either.
Downside however is that you're not able to manually free up the memory used using the technique mentioned by elarlang.
<?php
for($tok = strtok($str, ' _-.'); $tok!==false; $tok = strtok(' _-.'))
{
echo "$tok </br>";
}
?>If you want to tokenize by only one letter, explode() is much faster compared to strtok().
<?php
$str=str_repeat('foo ',10000);
//explode()
$time=microtime(TRUE);
$arr=explode($str,' ');
$time=microtime(TRUE)-$time;
echo "explode():$time sec.".PHP_EOL;
//strtok()
$time=microtime(TRUE);
$ret=strtok(' ',$str);
while($ret!==FALSE){
$ret=strtok(' ');
}
$time=microtime(TRUE)-$time;
echo "strtok():$time sec.".PHP_EOL;
?>
The result is : (PHP 5.3.3 on CentOS)
explode():0.001317024230957 sec.
strtok():0.0058917999267578 sec.
explode() is about five times fast in short strings, too.This looks very simple, but it took me a long time to figure out so I thought I'd share it incase someone else was wanting the same thing:
this should work similar to substr() but with tokens instead!
<?php
/* subtok(string,chr,pos,len)
*
* chr = chr used to seperate tokens
* pos = starting postion
* len = length, if negative count back from right
*
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',0) = 'a.b.c.d.e'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',0,2) = 'a.b'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',2,1) = 'c'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',2,-1) = 'c.d'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',-4) = 'b.c.d.e'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',-4,2) = 'b.c'
* subtok('a.b.c.d.e','.',-4,-1) = 'b.c.d'
*/
function subtok($string,$chr,$pos,$len = NULL) {
return implode($chr,array_slice(explode($chr,$string),$pos,$len));
}
?>
explode breaks the tokens up into an array, array slice alows you to pick then tokens you want, and then implode converts it back to a string
although its far from a clone, this was inspired by mIRC's gettok() functionNote that strtok may receive different tokens each time. Therefore, if, for example, you wish to extract several words and then the rest of the sentence:
<?php
$text = "13 202 5 This is a long message explaining the error codes.";
$error1 = strtok($text, " "); //13
$error2 = strtok(" "); //202
$error3 = strtok(" "); //5
$error_message = strtok(""); //Notice the different token parameter
echo $error_message; //This is a long message explaining the error codes.
?>As of the change in strtok()'s handling of empty strings, it is now useless for scripts that rely on empty data to function.
Take for instance, a standard header. (with UNIX newlines)
http/1.0 200 OK\n
Content-Type: text/html\n
\n
--HTML BODY HERE---
When parsing this with strtok, one would wait until it found an empty string to signal the end of the header. However, because strtok now skips empty segments, it is impossible to know when the header has ended.
This should not be called `correct' behavior, it certainly is not. It has rendered strtok incapable of (properly) processing a very simple standard.
This new functionality, however, does not affect Windows style headers. You would search for a line that only contains "\r"
This, however, is not a justification for the change.Here is a java like StringTokenizer class using strtok function:
<?php
/**
* The string tokenizer class allows an application to break a string into tokens.
*
* @example The following is one example of the use of the tokenizer. The code:

?>Please note that strtok memory is shared between all PHP code currently executed, even included files. This can bite you in unexpected ways if you are not careful.
For example:
<?php
$path = 'dir/file.ext';
$dir_name = strtok($path, '/');
if ($dir_name !== (new Module)->getAllowedDirName()) {
throw new \Exception('Invalid directory name');
}
$file_name = strtok('');
?>
Seems easy enough, but if your Module class is not loaded, this triggers the autoloader. The autoloader *MAY* use strtok inside its loading code.
Or your Module class *MAY* use strtok inside its constructor.
This means you will never get your $file_name correctly.
So: you should *always* group strtok calls, without any external code between two strtok calls.
This would be OK:
<?php
$path = 'dir/file.ext';
$dir_name = strtok($path, '/');
$file_name = strtok('');
if ($dir_name !== (new Module)->getAllowedDirName()) {
throw new \Exception('Invalid directory name');
}
?>
This might cause issues:
<?php
$path = 'one/two#three';
$a = strtok($path, '/');
$b = strtok(Module::NAME_SEPARATOR);
$c = strtok('');
?>
Because your autoloader might be using strtok.
This would be avoided by fetching all parameters used in strtok *before* the calls:
<?php
$path = 'one/two#three';
$separator = Module::NAME_SEPARATOR;
$a = strtok($path, '/');
$b = strtok($separator);
$c = strtok('');
?>I found this useful for parsing user entered links in text fields.
e.g. This is a link <http://example.com>
function parselink($link) {
$bit1 = trim(strtok($link, '<'));
$bit2 = trim(strtok('>'));
$html = '<a href="'.$bit2.'">'.$bit1.'</a>';
return $html; // <a href="http://example.com">This is a link</a>
}After obtaining zero or more tokens with calls to strtok, you can obtain the remainder of the input string by calling strtok with an empty string as the delimiter.@maisuma you invert paramaters of explode() and strtok() functions, your code does not do what you expect.
You expect to read the input string token after token so equivalent code for strtok() is arra_filter(explode()) because explode() return lines of empty string when several delimiters are contiguous in the read string, for example 2 whitespaces between.
In fact strtok() is much faster (x2 at least) than arra_filter(explode()) if the read string contains several contiguous delimiters ,
it is slower if the read string contains one and only one delimiter between tokens.
<?php
$repeat = 10;
$delimiter = ':';
$str=str_repeat('foo:',$repeat);
$timeStrtok=microtime(TRUE);
$token = strtok($str, $delimiter);
while($token!==FALSE){
//echo $token . ',';
$token=strtok($delimiter);
}
$timeStrtok -=microtime(TRUE);
$timeExplo=microtime(TRUE);
$arr = explode($delimiter, $str);
//$arr = array_filter($arr);
$timeExplo -=microtime(TRUE);
//print_r($arr);
$X = 1000000; $unit = 'microsec';

echo ' ratio explode / strtok : ' . round($timeExplo / $timeStrtok,1) . PHP_EOL;
?>this example will hopefully help you understand how this function works:
<?php
$selector = 'div.class#id';
$tagname = strtok($selector,'.#');
echo $tagname.'<br/>';
while($tok = strtok('.#'))
{
echo $tok.'<br/>';
}
?>
Outputs:
div
class
idRemove GET variables from the URL
<?php
$url = strtok('http://php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php?foo=1&bar=2', '?');
// $url = 'http://php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php'This function takes a string and returns an array with words (delimited by spaces), also taking into account quotes, doublequotes, backticks and backslashes (for escaping stuff).
So
$string = "cp 'my file' to `Judy's file`";
var_dump(parse_cli($string));
would yield:
array(4) {
[0]=>
string(2) "cp"
[1]=>
string(7) "my file"
[2]=>
string(5) "to"
[3]=>
string(11) "Judy's file"
}
Way it works, runs through the string character by character, for each character looking up the action to take, based on that character and its current $state.
Actions can be (one or more of) adding the character/string to the current word, adding the word to the output array, and changing or (re)storing the state.
For example a space will become part of the current 'word' (or 'token') if $state is 'doublequoted', but it will start a new token if $state was 'unquoted'.
I was later told it's a "tokeniser using a finite state automaton". Who knew :-)
