note 92317 added to function.mb-convert-case

as the previouly posted version of this function doesn't handle UTF-8 characters, I simply tried to replace ucfirst to mb_convert_case, but then any previous case foldings were lost while looping through delimiters. So I decided to do an mb_convert_case on the input string (it also deals with words is uppercase wich may also be problematic when doing case-sensitive search), and do the rest of checking after that. As with mb_convert_case, words are capitalized, I also added lowercase convertion for the exceptions, but, for the above mentioned reason, I left ucfirst unchanged. Now it works fine for utf-8 strings as well, except for string delimiters followed by an UTF-8 character ("Mcádám" is unchanged, while "mcdunno's" is converted to "McDunno's" and "ökrös-TÓTH éDUa" in also put in the correct form) I use it for checking user input on names and addresses, so exceptions list contains some hungarian words too. <?php function titleCase($string, $delimiters = array(" ", "-", ".", "'", "O'", "Mc"), $exceptions = array("út", "u", "s", "és", "utca", "tér", "krt", "körút", "sétány", "I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX", "X", "XI", "XII", "XIII", "XIV", "XV", "XVI", "XVII", "XVIII", "XIX", "XX", "XXI", "XXII", "XXIII", "XXIV", "XXV", "XXVI", "XXVII", "XXVIII", "XXIX", "XXX" )) { /* * Exceptions in lower case are words you don't want converted * Exceptions all in upper case are any words you don't want converted to title case * but should be converted to upper case, e.g.: * king henry viii or king henry Viii should be King Henry VIII */ $string = mb_convert_case($string, MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8"); foreach ($delimiters as $dlnr => $delimiter){ $words = explode($delimiter, $string); $newwords = array(); foreach ($words as $wordnr => $word){ if (in_array(mb_strtoupper($word, "UTF-8"), $exceptions)){ // check exceptions list for any words that should be in upper case $word = mb_strtoupper($word, "UTF-8"); } elseif (in_array(mb_strtolower($word, "UTF-8"), $exceptions)){ // check exceptions list for any words that should be in upper case $word = mb_strtolower($word, "UTF-8"); } elseif (!in_array($word, $exceptions) ){ // convert to uppercase (non-utf8 only) $word = ucfirst($word); } array_push($newwords, $word); } $string = join($delimiter, $newwords); }//foreach return $string; } ?> ---- Server IP: 69.147.83.197 Probable Submitter: 80.99.188.102 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-convert-case.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/92317 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/92317 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/92317 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
