mb_convert_case — Perform case folding on a string
$str
, int $mode
[, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()
] )
Performs case folding on a string, converted in the way specified by
mode.
strThe string being converted.
mode
The mode of the conversion. It can be one of
MB_CASE_UPPER,
MB_CASE_LOWER, or
MB_CASE_TITLE.
encoding
Parametrul encoding reprezintă codificarea caracterelor.
Dacă el este omis, va fi utilizată valoarea internă a codificării caracterelor.
A case folded version of string converted in the
way specified by mode.
By contrast to the standard case folding functions such as strtolower() and strtoupper(), case folding is performed on the basis of the Unicode character properties. Thus the behaviour of this function is not affected by locale settings and it can convert any characters that have 'alphabetic' property, such as A-umlaut (Ä).
For more information about the Unicode properties, please see » http://www.unicode.org/unicode/reports/tr21/.
