正则表达式不包括空格

Question

I'm using some atwho.js to allow linking to users profile using @.

For example @User1 @User2 @User3, and all these would link to their profile.

I'm getting correct feedback from regexr.com, but it isn't translating,

and it's not including the space

Here is what my record displays in the database displays:

<p><a href=/profiles/Richard Skiles>@Richard Skiles</a></p>

Here is what the output is:

<p><a href=/profiles/Richard>@Richard Skiles</a></p>

Here is some code:

public function setBodyAttribute($body)
{
    $find = ['/@([\w\- ]+)/'];
    $replace = ['<a href=/profiles/$1>$0</a>'];
    $this->attributes['body'] = preg_replace($find, $replace, $body);
}

Hopefully someone can help me here. It would be much appreciated, thank you!!

Answer 1

I saw you added a space in the character set, but the preg_replace doesn't match spaces like that. They use the \s class

public function setBodyAttribute($body)
{
    $find = ['/@([\w\-\s]+)/']; // I added the \s to match the spaces
    $replace = ['<a href=/profiles/$1>$0</a>'];
    $this->attributes['body'] = preg_replace($find, $replace, $body);
}
