mb_convert_case

(PHP 4 >= 4.3.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

mb_convert_caseRealiza una conversión a mayúsculas/minúsculas de un string

Descripción

mb_convert_case(string $str, int $mode, string $encoding = mb_internal_encoding()): string

Realiza una conversión a mayúsculas/minúsculas en un string, de acuerdo al modo especificado por mode.

Parámetros

str

El string que se va a convertir.

mode

El modo de conversión. Puede ser MB_CASE_UPPER, MB_CASE_LOWER, o MB_CASE_TITLE.

encoding

El parámetro encoding es la codificación de caracteres. Si es omitido, será usado el valor de la codificación de caracteres interna.

Valores devueltos

La versión convertida del string tal como se especificó en el parámetro mode.

Unicode

A diferencia de las funciones estándar de mayúsculas/minúsculas, como strtolower() y strtoupper(), la conversión se lleva a cabo según los fundamentos de las propiedades de los caracteres Unicode. De esta forma, esta función no se ve afectada por las configuraciones regionales, ya que puede convertir cualquier carácter que contenga la propiedad 'alfabética', como la A con diéresis (Ä).

Para más información sobre las propiedades Unicode, por favor, revise » http://www.unicode.org/reports/tr21/.

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;
}

MB_CASE_TITLE doesn't change letters in quotation marks.

Example:
mb_convert_case('AAA "aaa"', MB_CASE_TITLE);
// Result: Aaa "aaa"

You can use this function to fix problems related to Turkish "ı", "I", "i", "İ" characters. This function also replaces the weird "i̇" character with regular "i" character ("i̇ => i").

function mb_convert_case_tr($str, $type, $encoding = "UTF-8")
{

  switch ($type) {
    case "u":
    case "upper":
    case MB_CASE_UPPER:
      $type = MB_CASE_UPPER;
      break;
    case "l":
    case "lower":
    case MB_CASE_LOWER:
      $type = MB_CASE_LOWER;
      break;
    case "t":
    case "title":
    case MB_CASE_TITLE:
      $type = MB_CASE_TITLE;
      break;
  }

  $str = str_replace("i", "İ", $str);
  $str = str_replace("I", "ı", $str);

  $str = mb_convert_case($str, $type, $encoding);
  $str = str_replace("i̇", "i", $str);

  return $str;
}

For CZECH characters:
<?php
$text
= mb_convert_case($text, MB_CASE_LOWER, "Windows-1251");
?>
The right encoding Windows-1250 is not valid (see the list mb_list_encodings), but Windows-1251 will do the same 100%. The function strtolower() ignores czech characters with diacritics.

For my case following did the work to capitalize UTF-8 encoded string.

function capitalize($str, $encoding = 'UTF-8') {
    return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($str, 0, 1, $encoding), $encoding) . mb_strtolower(mb_substr($str, 1, mb_strlen($str), $encoding), $encoding);
}

Building upon Justin's and Alex's work...

This function allows you to specify which delimiter(s) to explode on (not just the default space). Now you can correctly capitalize Irish names and hyphenated words (if you want)!

<?php
function titleCase($string, $delimiters = array(" ", "-", "O'"), $exceptions = array("to", "a", "the", "of", "by", "and", "with", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX", "X")) {
      
/*
        * 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
        */
      
foreach ($delimiters as $delimiter){
              
$words = explode($delimiter, $string);
              
$newwords = array();
               foreach (
$words as $word){
                       if (
in_array(strtoupper($word), $exceptions)){
                              
// check exceptions list for any words that should be in upper case
                              
$word = strtoupper($word);
                       } elseif (!
in_array($word, $exceptions)){
                              
// convert to uppercase
                              
$word = ucfirst($word);
                       }
                      
array_push($newwords, $word);
               }
              
$string = join($delimiter, $newwords);
       }
       return
$string;
}

for turkish language I => i  and i => I conversion is a problem. It must be I => ı and i => İ so my simple solution is

    public function title_case_turkish($str){


        $str = str_replace("i", "İ", $str);
        $str = str_replace("I", "ı", $str);

        $str = mb_convert_case($str, MB_CASE_TITLE,"UTF-8");

        return $str;

    }

This is a variation of mb_convert_case that works only for UTF-8 strings and that will not convert to lowercase anything.

This avoids turning "AAA aaa" into "Aaa Aaa"; it maps "AAA aaa" into ""AAA Aaa" instead.

<?php
function mb_convert_case_utf8_variation($s) {
   
$arr = preg_split("//u", $s, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
   
$result = "";
   
$mode = false;
    foreach (
$arr as $char) {
       
$res = preg_match(
           
'/\\p{Mn}|\\p{Me}|\\p{Cf}|\\p{Lm}|\\p{Sk}|\\p{Lu}|\\p{Ll}|'.
           
'\\p{Lt}|\\p{Sk}|\\p{Cs}/u', $char) == 1;
        if (
$mode) {
            if (!
$res)
               
$mode = false;
        }
        elseif (
$res) {
           
$mode = true;
           
$char = mb_convert_case($char, MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8");
        }
       
$result .= $char;
    }

    return
$result;
}
?>
