Regular expression to match valid UK postcodes. In the UK postal system not all letters are used in all positions (the same with vehicle registration plates) and there are various rules to govern this. This regex takes into account those rules. Details of the rules: First half of postcode Valid formats [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][A-Z] [A-Z][A-Z][0-9][0-9] [A-Z][0-9][0-9] [A-Z][A-Z][0-9] [A-Z][A-Z][A-Z] [A-Z][0-9][A-Z] [A-Z][0-9] Exceptions Position - First. Contraint - QVX not used Position - Second. Contraint - IJZ not used except in GIR 0AA Position - Third. Constraint - AEHMNPRTVXY only used Position - Forth. Contraint - ABEHMNPRVWXY Second half of postcode Valid formats [0-9][A-Z][A-Z] Exceptions Position - Second and Third. Contraint - CIKMOV not used

以下是我们处理英国邮政编码问题的方法:

^([A-Za-z]{1,2}[0-9]{1,2}[A-Za-z]?[ ]?)([0-9]{1}[A-Za-z]{2})$

解释:

期望有1或2个a-z字符，上或下都没问题 预期有1到2个数字 期望0或1个a-z字符，上或下精细 允许使用可选空间 期望1个数字 期望有2个a-z，上下都没问题

这将获得大多数格式，然后我们使用db来验证邮政编码是否真实，该数据由openpoint https://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/opendatadownload/products.html驱动

希望这能有所帮助

我一直在寻找一个英国邮政编码正则表达式的最后一天左右，无意中发现了这个线程。我尝试了上面的大部分建议，但没有一个对我有用，所以我想出了自己的正则表达式，据我所知，它捕获了截至1月13日的所有有效的英国邮政编码(根据皇家邮政的最新文献)。

The regex and some simple postcode checking PHP code is posted below. NOTE:- It allows for lower or uppercase postcodes and the GIR 0AA anomaly but to deal with the, more than likely, presence of a space in the middle of an entered postcode it also makes use of a simple str_replace to remove the space before testing against the regex. Any discrepancies beyond that and the Royal Mail themselves don't even mention them in their literature (see http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/files/docs/pdf/programmers_guide_edition_7_v5.pdf and start reading from page 17)!

注意:在皇家邮政自己的文献中(链接以上)，第3和第4位的位置略有模糊，如果这些字符是字母，则例外。我直接联系了皇家邮政，用他们自己的话说，“AANA NAA格式的出境代码的第4个位置的信件没有例外，而第3个位置的例外只适用于ANA NAA格式的出境代码的最后一个字母。”直接从马嘴里说出来的!

<?php

    $postcoderegex = '/^([g][i][r][0][a][a])$|^((([a-pr-uwyz]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}([0]|[1-9]\d?))|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[1-9][a-hjkps-uw]{1})|([a-pr-uwyz]{1}[a-hk-y]{1}[1-9][a-z]{1}))(\d[abd-hjlnp-uw-z]{2})?)$/i';

    $postcode2check = str_replace(' ','',$postcode2check);

    if (preg_match($postcoderegex, $postcode2check)) {

        echo "$postcode2check is a valid postcode<br>";

    } else {

        echo "$postcode2check is not a valid postcode<br>";

    }

?>

我希望它能帮助其他遇到这条线索寻找解决方案的人。

这是谷歌在i18napis.appspot.com域名上的正则表达式:

GIR[ ]?0AA|((AB|AL|B|BA|BB|BD|BH|BL|BN|BR|BS|BT|BX|CA|CB|CF|CH|CM|CO|CR|CT|CV|CW|DA|DD|DE|DG|DH|DL|DN|DT|DY|E|EC|EH|EN|EX|FK|FY|G|GL|GY|GU|HA|HD|HG|HP|HR|HS|HU|HX|IG|IM|IP|IV|JE|KA|KT|KW|KY|L|LA|LD|LE|LL|LN|LS|LU|M|ME|MK|ML|N|NE|NG|NN|NP|NR|NW|OL|OX|PA|PE|PH|PL|PO|PR|RG|RH|RM|S|SA|SE|SG|SK|SL|SM|SN|SO|SP|SR|SS|ST|SW|SY|TA|TD|TF|TN|TQ|TR|TS|TW|UB|W|WA|WC|WD|WF|WN|WR|WS|WV|YO|ZE)(\d[\dA-Z]?[ ]?\d[ABD-HJLN-UW-Z]{2}))|BFPO[ ]?\d{1,4}

我发现在几乎所有的变化和regex从批量转移pdf和什么是在维基百科网站上是这样的，特别是维基百科的regex是，需要有一个^后的第一个|(竖条)。我通过测试AA9A 9AA发现了这一点，因为否则A9A 9AA的格式检查将验证它。例如，检查应该无效的EC1D 1BB返回有效，因为C1D 1BB是有效的格式。

以下是我想出的一个好的正则表达式:

^([G][I][R] 0[A]{2})|^((([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9]{1,2})|([A-Z-[QVX]][A-HK-Y][0-9]{1,2})|([A-Z-[QVX]][0-9][ABCDEFGHJKPSTUW])|([A-Z-[QVX]][A-HK-Y][0-9][ABEHMNPRVWXY])) [0-9][A-Z-[CIKMOV]]{2})$
