[PHP] Compare Case Insensitive?
How can I compare a variable submitted by a form as case
insensitive? A promotional code will be entered into a form
and it's important that they can enter the code either way.
So if I have
if ($code == 'ABC123') {
I want that to match 'aBC123' 'abc123' or whatever. Thanks.

if (strtolower($code) == 'abc123') {
or
if (strtoupper($code) == 'ABC123') {

Re: [PHP] Compare Case Insensitive?
let's see:
eregi()
preg_match()
strtolower()
... either one could help you
probably fastest is convert the user string to lower case and compare
... or upper case .. your choice.
Damn. so many options.

You could set your input string to upper case, then make all your
comparisons in upper case
