strtok — Tokenize string
Alternative signature (not supported with named arguments):
strtok() splits a string (string
) into smaller strings (tokens), with each token being delimited by any character from token
. That is, if you have a string like "This is an example string" you could tokenize this string into its individual words by using the space character as the token
.
Note that only the first call to strtok uses the string
argument. Every subsequent call to strtok only needs the token
to use, as it keeps track of where it is in the current string. To start over, or to tokenize a new string you simply call strtok with the string
argument again to initialize it. Note that you may put multiple tokens in the token
parameter. The string will be tokenized when any one of the characters in the token
argument is found.
Nota:
This function behaves slightly different from what one may expect being familiar with explode(). First, a sequence of two or more contiguous
token
characters in the parsed string is considered to be a single delimiter. Also, atoken
situated at the start or end of the string is ignored. For example, if a string";aaa;;bbb;"
is used, successive calls to strtok() with";"
as atoken
would return strings "aaa" and "bbb", and thenfalse
. As a result, the string will be split into only two elements, whileexplode(";", $string)
would return an array of 5 elements.
string
The string being split up into smaller strings (tokens).
token
The delimiter used when splitting up string
.

Exemplo #1 strtok() example
<?php
$string = "This is\tan example\nstring";
$tok = strtok($string, " \n\t");
while ($tok !== false) {
echo "Word=$tok<br />";
$tok = strtok(" \n\t");
}
?>
Exemplo #2 strtok() behavior on empty part found
<?php
$first_token = strtok('/something', '/');
$second_token = strtok('/');
var_dump($first_token, $second_token);
?>
O exemplo acima produzirá:
string(9) "something" bool(false)
Exemplo #3 The difference between strtok() and explode()
<?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";
O exemplo acima produzirá:
["aaa","bbb"] ["","aaa","","bbb",""]
Esta função pode retornar o valor booleano false
, mas também pode retornar um valor não booleano que pode ser avaliado como false
. Leia a seção sobre Booleanos para mais informações. Use o operador === para testar o valor retornado por esta função.
