JavaScript equivalent RegExp for PHP

Question

Im looking for JavaScript equivalent RegExp for PHP.

This PHP RegExp class must have same methods with same returns as JavaScript version.

I can not find anything.

Thanks

[EDIT]

I need same class in PHP as is in JavaScript. preg_match methods in php has different results as RegExp.exec in JavaScript. And also has different flags

Answer 1

You can use Javascript RegExp object in order to accomplish what you want.

Here's an example taken from MDN:

var re = /(\w+)\s(\w+)/;
var str = 'John Smith';
var newstr = str.replace(re, '$2, $1');
console.log(newstr);
