IntlChar::tolower

(PHP 7, PHP 8)

IntlChar::tolower — Make Unicode character lowercase

说明

public static IntlChar::tolower(int|string $codepoint): int|string|null

The given character is mapped to its lowercase equivalent. If the character has no lowercase equivalent, the original character itself is returned.

参数

codepoint: The int codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603 for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}")

返回值

Returns the Simple_Lowercase_Mapping of the code point, if any; otherwise the code point itself. Returns null on failure.

返回类型是 int，如果代码点作为 UTF-8 string 传递，则会返回 string 。失败时返回 null。

示例

示例 #1 Testing different code points

<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower("A"));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower("a"));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower("Φ"));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower("φ"));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower("1"));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower(ord("A")));
var_dump(IntlChar::tolower(ord("a")));
?>

以上示例会输出：

 
string(1) "a"
string(1) "a"
string(2) "φ"
string(2) "φ"
string(1) "1"
int(97)
int(97)

The other function I wrote to replace mb_strtolower may not work properly, as it erroneously equated graphemes with codepoints.

tolower, like many IntlChar methods, works specifically on codepoints, so requires a codepoint iterator to isolate each.

Also, because in tolower, if there is no lowercase version of the codepoint, the supplied one is returned, so there is no need to specially test for alphabetic codepoints before conversion.

<?php 
function u_tolower($text=''){
// if blank, return blank (don't waste CPU cycles)
if($text==''){return'';}

// create the codepoint break iterator to identify the start of each codepoint
$iterator=IntlBreakIterator::createCodePointInstance();

// load the text
$iterator->setText($text);

// using a parts iterator to extract each codepoint itself, convert and append it to the new string
$newtext='';
foreach($iterator->getPartsIterator() as $codepoint){$newtext.=IntlChar::tolower($codepoint);}

// return converted text
return $newtext;
}
?>
