note 78560 added to function.strtolower

When you're not sure, how the current locale is set, you might find the following function useful. It's strtolower for utf8-formatted text: <?php function strtolower_utf8($inputString) { $outputString = utf8_decode($inputString); $outputString = strtolower($outputString); $outputString = utf8_encode($outputString); return $outputString; } ?> It's not suitable for every occasion, but it surely gets in handy. I use it for lowering German 'Umlauts' like ä and ö. ---- Server IP: 212.124.37.9 Probable Submitter: 80.142.171.27 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtolower.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/78560 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/78560 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/78560 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
