PHP - Changing The String Case
Posted on April 13th, 2009 No commentsIf you wanted to change the case of a string for example the word ‘television’ into ‘TELEVISION’ you can easily do so in PHP. You can do it vice versa as well.
Here are the following functions you can use to change the case of a string:
Let’s use the following functions with the variable ‘$television’ By the way the variable $television contains the value “what brand of tv do you own?”
strtoupper($television) = WHAT BRAND OF TV DO YOU OWN?
strrtolower($televison) = what brand of tv do you own?
ucfirst($television) = What brand of tv do you own?
ucwords($televison) = What Brand Of Tv Do You Own?
The first function converts the alphabetic characters to uppercase, the second to uppercase. The third function converts the first letter of the first word in uppercase and the fourth function converts the first letter of each word in uppercase.
These functions could be used in web forums and you would prefer your comments to start in uppercase. To be honest it really depends on how well you want to present your website I suppose.
