Explores using PHP 8.5's new pipe operator as an alternative to fluent API builders for constructing regular expressions. Demonstrates how functional composition with pipes can create regex patterns with less code and fewer side effects compared to object-oriented builder patterns. Shows practical examples of converting C# regex builder methods into PHP pipe operator functions, including character patterns, quantifiers, lookaheads, and groups. Argues that pipe operators offer simpler testing, easier extensibility, and language-level regex building, though acknowledges the trade-off of less intuitive naming compared to fluent APIs.
