#48871 [Opn->Bgs]: strtoupper does not make all characters upper with proper locale set

ID: 48871 Updated by: derick@php.net Reported By: sweiss at stylesight dot com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: I18N and L10N related Operating System: Debian Etch and RHEL 5 PHP Version: 5.3.0 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php It's still not a bug. POSIX locales don't handle upper casing of UTF-8 encoded strings unfortunately. You'll just have to wait for PHP 6 here.

As PHP 5.3 was only released days ago it seems unlikely 6 will be out anytime soon. If this feature isn't actually going to be there for a long time, then it would be much more considerate to stop stating you have this feature already in your documentation. We used strtoupper everywhere on a 300-file localization project and had no reason to believe it wouldn't work through 3 different (CJK) languages until we got to Spanish and realized it was bogus. Reproduce code: --------------- var_dump(setlocale(LC_ALL, "es_MX.utf8")); $str = "á\n"; echo(strtoupper($str)); Expected result: ---------------- string(10) "es_MX.utf8" Á Actual result: -------------- string(10) "es_MX.utf8" á ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=48871&edit=1
