strtolower

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

strtolower将字符串转化为小写

说明

strtolower ( string $string ) : string

string 中所有的字母字符转换为小写并返回。

注意 "字母" 与当前所在区域有关。例如,在默认的 "C" 区域,字符 umlaut-A(?)就不会被转换。

参数

string

输入字符串。

返回值

返回转换后的小写字符串。

范例

Example #1 strtolower() 范例

<?php
$str 
"Mary Had A Little Lamb and She LOVED It So";
$str strtolower($str);
echo 
$str// 打印 mary had a little lamb and she loved it so
?>

注释

Note: 此函数可安全用于二进制对象。

When the locale is set to "utf8" or "C" I can't get strtolower() to convert accented characters encoded as UTF-8, so here is my workaround.

<?php
function tolower($string) {
  if (
$old_locale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 0)) {
   
// 'fr_FR.ISO-8859-1' for *nix, 'French_France.1252' fallback for Windows
   
if ($newlocale = setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR.ISO-8859-1', 'French_France.1252')) {
     
preg_match('/\.(?<encoding>.+)$/', $newlocale, $match);
     
$string = utf8_encode(strtolower(utf8_decode($string)));
    }
   
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, $old_locale);
  }
  return
$string;
}

print(
tolower('DéJà-VU'));  // prints déjà-vu
?>

Change the language-country codes if you want some language other than French.

It is worth noting that
<?php
var_dump
(strtolower(null))
?>
returns:
string(0) ""

To convert an entire array to lower, I prefer this method;

<?php
function arraytolower(array $array, $round = 0){
  return
unserialize(strtolower(serialize($array)));
}
?>

3 lines of code seem a lot less overhead than 10-40.
If there's any intrinsic problem with this method, please post it.

strtolower(); doesn't work for polish chars

<?php strtolower("m?kA"); ?>
will return: m?ka;

the best solution - use mb_strtolower()

<?php mb_strtolower("m?kA",'UTF-8'); ?>
will return: m?ka

the strtolower version to support most amount of languages including russian, french and so on:

<?php
function strtolower_utf8($string){
 
$convert_to = array(
   
"a", "b", "c", "d", "e", "f", "g", "h", "i", "j", "k", "l", "m", "n", "o", "p", "q", "r", "s", "t", "u",
   
"v", "w", "x", "y", "z", "à", "á", "a", "?", "?", "?", "?", "?", "è", "é", "ê", "?", "ì", "í", "?", "?",
   
"e", "?", "ò", "ó", "?", "?", "?", "?", "ù", "ú", "?", "ü", "y", "а", "б", "в", "г", "д", "е", "ё", "ж",
   
"з", "и", "й", "к", "л", "м", "н", "о", "п", "р", "с", "т", "у", "ф", "х", "ц", "ч", "ш", "щ", "ъ", "ы",
   
"ь", "э", "ю", "я"
 
);
 
$convert_from = array(
   
"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U",
   
"V", "W", "X", "Y", "Z", "à", "á", "?", "?", "?", "?", "?", "?", "è", "é", "ê", "?", "ì", "í", "?", "?",
   
"D", "?", "ò", "ó", "?", "?", "?", "?", "ù", "ú", "?", "ü", "Y", "А", "Б", "В", "Г", "Д", "Е", "Ё", "Ж",
   
"З", "И", "Й", "К", "Л", "М", "Н", "О", "П", "Р", "С", "Т", "У", "Ф", "Х", "Ц", "Ч", "Ш", "Щ", "Ъ", "Ъ",
   
"Ь", "Э", "Ю", "Я"
 
);

  return
str_replace($convert_from, $convert_to, $string);
}
?>

for cyrillic and UTF 8 use  mb_convert_case

exampel

<?php
$string
= "Австралия";
$string = mb_convert_case($string, MB_CASE_LOWER, "UTF-8");
echo
$string;

//output is: австралия
?>

the function  arraytolower will create duplicate entries since keys are case sensitive. 

<?php
$array
= array('test1' => 'asgAFasDAAd', 'TEST2' => 'ASddhshsDGb', 'TeSt3 '=> 'asdasda@asdadadASDASDgh');

$array = arraytolower($array);
?>
/*
Array
(
    [test1] => asgafasdaad
    [TEST2] => ASddhshsDGb
    [TeSt3] => asdasda@asdadadASDASDgh
    [test2] => asddhshsdgb
    [test3] => asdasda@asdadadasdasdgh
)
*/

I prefer this method

<?php
 
function arraytolower($array, $include_leys=false) {
   
    if(
$include_leys) {
      foreach(
$array as $key => $value) {
        if(
is_array($value))
         
$array2[strtolower($key)] = arraytolower($value, $include_leys);
        else
         
$array2[strtolower($key)] = strtolower($value);
      }
     
$array = $array2;
    }
    else {
      foreach(
$array as $key => $value) {
        if(
is_array($value))
         
$array[$key] = arraytolower($value, $include_leys);
        else
         
$array[$key] = strtolower($value);  
      }
    }
   
    return
$array;
  }
?>

which when used like this

<?php
$array
= $array = array('test1' => 'asgAFasDAAd', 'TEST2' => 'ASddhshsDGb', 'TeSt3 '=> 'asdasda@asdadadASDASDgh');

$array1 = arraytolower($array);
$array2 = arraytolower($array,true);

print_r($array1);
print_r($array2);
?>

will give output of

Array
(
    [test1] => asgafasdaad
    [TEST2] => asddhshsdgb
    [TeSt3] => asdasda@asdadadasdasdgh
)
Array
(
    [test1] => asgafasdaad
    [test2] => asddhshsdgb
    [test3] => asdasda@asdadadasdasdgh
)

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 ? and ?.

Slovenian characters

<?php
   
function strtolower_slovenian($string)
    {
       
$low=array("?" => "?", "?" => "?", "?" => "?");
        return
strtolower(strtr($string,$low));
    }

?>

Maybe it is not so elegant, but it Works.
It's just a fast Idea and it is what I need.
Any hacks for other characters (link !, ? etc etc) should help.

function RemoveShouting($string)
{
     $frase = "";   
     $astri = explode(".", $string);
     foreach ($astri as $elem)
    $frase .= " ".ucfirst(trim(strtolower($elem))).". ";
      
    return trim($frase);
}

Cheers!

If you ever need to strtolower a string with href tags on it and doesn't want to mess with the characters inside a tag, this is for you.

<?php

function loweroutsidetags ($str) {
   
$chars = preg_split ("//", $str);
   
$tolower = true;
   
$str = '';

    foreach (
$chars as $k) {
        if (
$k == '<') { $tolower = false; }
        if (
$tolower) { $k = strtolower ($k); }
       
$str .= $k;   
        if (
$k == '>') { $tolower = true; }
    }
    return
$str;
}

?>

this:
echo loweroutsidetags('aALalala <a href="?q=CASEsENSITIVINESSinURLSareSTUPID">')

will give:
aalalala <a href="?q=CASEsENSITIVINESSinURLSareSTUPID">

If you're considering using the below unhtmlentities function from phpContrib, I would suggest this one as an alternative:

<?php
function unhtmlentities($string)
{
  
// replace numeric entities
  
$string = preg_replace('~&#x([0-9a-f]+);~ei', 'chr(hexdec("\\1"))', $string);
  
$string = preg_replace('~&#([0-9]+);~e', 'chr(\\1)', $string);
  
// replace literal entities
  
$trans_tbl = get_html_translation_table(HTML_ENTITIES);
  
$trans_tbl = array_flip($trans_tbl);
   return
strtr($string, $trans_tbl);
}
?>

That was copied exactly from the html_entity_decode manual page.  It'll handle numeric entities correctly, the below function won't.

There's a ucfirst "function" to make the first character uppercase, but there's no "lcfirst" function to make the first character lowercase.  Here's my own code to accomplish this.

<?
function lcfirst($str) {
    return strtolower(substr($str, 0, 1)) . substr($str, 1);
}
?>

I found this particularly useful for generating XML nodes with the Reflection class.

To do case insensitive comparisons in a database, strtolower() can be a quick and dirty solution:

$Sql = "SELECT * FROM tablename WHERE LOWER(column_name) = '".strtolower($my_var)."'";

Heres a small function I wrote to stop people from submitting data that is ALL IN CAPS SO THEY CAN GET MORE ATTENTION THAT THE REST OF THE USER SUBMITTED DATA on my website :) If you can make it better, by all means do so. This function splits up words delimited by a space, and makes only the first letter of each word capitalized. You can easily modify it so it's only the very first word of the string. I've also added some exceptions so you don't make things like roman numerals look like "Iii" or "Xcmii" or something.

function RemoveShouting($string)
{
 $lower_exceptions = array(
        "to" => "1", "a" => "1", "the" => "1", "of" => "1"
 );
 
 $higher_exceptions = array( 
        "I" => "1", "II" => "1", "III" => "1", "IV" => "1", 
        "V" => "1", "VI" => "1", "VII" => "1", "VIII" => "1",
        "XI" => "1", "X" => "1"
 );
 
 $words = split(" ", $string);
 $newwords = array();
 foreach ($words as $word)
 {
  if (!$higher_exceptions[$word]) $word = strtolower($word);
  if (!$lower_exceptions[$word]) $word[0] = strtoupper($word[0]);
  array_push($newwords, $word);
 }
 return join(" ", $newwords);
}
