strspn — 计算字符串中全部字符都存在于指定字符集合中的第一段子串的长度。
$subject
, string $mask
[, int $start
[, int $length
]] )
返回 subject
中全部字符仅存在于 mask
中的第一组连续字符(子字符串)的长度。
如果省略了 start
和 length
参数,则检查整个 subject
字符串;如果指定了这两个参数,则效果等同于调用 strspn(substr($subject, $start, $length), $mask)(更多信息,参见 substr )。
代码行:
<?php
$var = strspn ( "42 is the answer to the 128th question." , "1234567890" );
?>
subject
中第一段全部字符都存在于 '1234567890' 的连续字符。
subject
待检查的字符串。
mask
检查字符列表。
start
subject
的开始检查位置。
如果 start
被设置并且是非负的, strspn() 将从 subject
的第 start
个位置开始检查。例如,在字符串 'abcdef' 中,第 0 个位置的字符是 'a',第二个位置的字符是 'c',等等。
如果 start
被设置并且为负数, strspn() 将从 subject
的尾部倒数第 start
个位置开始检查 subject
。
length
subject
中检查的长度。
如果 length
被设置并且为非负数,那么将从起始位置开始,检查 subject
的 length
个长度的字符。
如果 length
被设置并且为负数,那么将从起始位置开始,直到从 subject
尾部开始第 length
个位置,对 subject
进行检查。
返回 str1
中第一段全部字符都存在于 str2
范围的字符串的长度。
版本 | 说明 |

4.3.0 |
新增 start 和 length 参数。

Example #1 strspn() 范例
<?php
echo strspn ( "foo" , "o" , 1 , 2 ); // 打印: 2
?>
以上例程会输出:
int(0) int(2) int(1)
Note: 此函数可安全用于二进制对象。

Quick way to check if a string consists entirely of characters within the mask is to compare strspn with strlen eg:
<?php
$path = $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
if (strspn($path,'/') == strlen($path)) {
//PATH_INFO is empty
}
?>

very dificult to get from the definition directly, while i search for that,i came to know that
strspn() will tell you the length of a string consisting entirely of the set of characters in accept set. That is, it starts walking down str until it finds a character that is not in the set (that is, a character that is not to be accepted), and returns the length of the string so far.
and
strcspn() works much the same way, except that it walks down str until it finds a character in the reject set (that is, a character that is to be rejected.) It then returns the length of the string so far.
<?php
$acceptSet = "aeiou";
$rejectSet = "y";
$str1 ="a banana";
$str2 ="the bolivian navy on manuvers in the south pacific";
echo $n = strspn($str1,$acceptSet);// $n == 1, just "a"
echo $n = strcspn($str2,$rejectSet);// n = 16, "the bolivian nav"
?>
hope this example will help in understanding the concept of strspn() and strcspn().

you can use this function with strlen to check illegal characters, string lenght must be the same than strspn (characters from my string contained in another)
<?php
$digits='0123456789';
if (strlen($phone) != strspn($phone,$digits))
echo "illegal characters";
?>

The second parameter is a set of allowed characters.
strspn will return an zero-based index of a first non-allowed character.

It took me some time to understand the way this function works??
I??ve compiled my own explanation with my own words that is more understandable for me personally than the official one or those that can be found in different tutorials on the web.
Perhaps, it will save someone several minutes??
<?php
strspn(string $haystack, string $char_list [, int $start [, int $length]])
?>
The way it works:
- searches for a segment of $haystack that consists entirely from supplied through the second argument chars
- $haystack must start from one of the chars supplied through $char_list, otherwise the function will find nothing
- as soon as the function encounters a char that was not mentioned in $chars it understands that the segment is over and stops (it doesn??t search for the second, third and so on segments)
- finally, it measures the segment??s length and return it (i.e. length)
In other words it finds a span (only the first one) in the string that consists entirely form chars supplied in $chars_list and returns its length

This function is significantly faster for checking illegal characters than the equivalent preg_match() method.
