This package comes with common regular expression patterns that are ready to match and replace against values. The package supports case-insensitivity, Unicode characters and supports all languages.

Here are some examples from the package’s readme:

 1// Match
 2Regex::isAlpha($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
 3Regex::isAlphanumeric($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
 4Regex::isAlphadash($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
 5Regex::isDigits($subject, $allowWhitespace = false);
 6Regex::isNumeric($subject);
 7 
 8// Replace
 9Regex::alpha($subject, $replace = '');
10Regex::alphanumeric($subject, $replace = '');
11Regex::alphadash($subject, $replace = '');
12Regex::digits($subject, $replace = '');
13Regex::numeric($subject, $replace = '');

You also have access to the underlying match and replace methods for custom patterns:

1// Replace interface
2public static function replace($subject, $pattern, $replacement = '');
3 
4// Match interface
5public static function match($subject, $pattern, bool $allowWhitespace = false): bool;
