[PHP] Case Insensativity in String Comparisons
Is there a simple to way to compare two strings with case insensitivity so
that the following will return true?
$foo = Arnold;
$bar = arnold;
If($foo == $bar) {
}
Thanks.

[PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names
Hi, All -- -- - - I occasionally find myself in need of a utility to do case conversion of people's names, especially when I am converting data from an old to a new system. This is the first such occasion in PHP. I know about ucwords() and mb_convert_case(). They do not accommodate names with middle capitalization. Does anybody have such a utility to share, or know of one posted by someone out there that you have used? I am not looking for perfection -- I know that such is not possible. I just want to pick off the easy ones -- Mc, Mac, O', de, de la, van, vander, van der, d' and others like that. I see some novel attempts to do parts of this on the PHP ucwords() User Notes area, but I bet someone out there has something more comprehensive. I'd rather not roll my own as I have done in other languages. I have Googled without success. Many thanks, Ken -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
RES: [PHP] Case Conversion of US Person Names
U can try this:
function fNme($n){
$tN=count($n=explode(' ',strtolower($n)));
$nR='';
for($i=0;$i$tN;$i++){if($i==0){$nR.=strlen($n[$i])3?ucwords($n[$i]):$n[$i]
;}else{$nR.=strlen($n[$i])3?' '.ucwords($n[$i]):' '.$n[$i];}}
return $nR;
}
echo fNme('a aaa aa aa ');
And also make an array inside this function for exceptions like 'vander' or
other words which the srtlen is 3.

Hi, All -- -- - -
I occasionally find myself in need of a utility to do case conversion
of people's names, especially when I am converting data from an old

Does anybody have such a utility to share, or know of one posted by

I am not looking for perfection -- I know that such is not possible.

Thank you. If I roll my own function, that could be useful.
I'd still rather find one that exists, though.

I dont think using all these regular expressions is a very efficient way to
do so. As i previously pointed out there are many users who had a similar

Yes. It matches any character based on the latin 'a' that is not
followed by an 'e'. It keeps the pattern from matching the 'a' when it
immediately precedes an 'e' for the character 'ae' for words like
these:

I was intrigued by your example, so I played around with it some more
this morning. My own quick web search yielded a lot of results for
highlighting search terms, but none that I found did what you're
after. (I admit I didn't look very deep.) I was up to something like
this before your reply came in. It's still by no means complete. It
even handles simple English plurals (words ending in 's' or 'es'), but
not variations that require changing the word base (like 'daisy' to
'daisies').
?php
function highlight_search_terms($phrase, $string) {
$non_letter_chars = '/[^\pL]/iu';
$words = preg_split($non_letter_chars, $phrase);
$search_words = array();
foreach ($words as $word) {
if (strlen($word) 2 !preg_match($non_letter_chars, $word)) {
$search_words[] = $word;
}
}
$search_words = array_unique($search_words);
foreach ($search_words as $word) {
$search = preg_quote($word);

If you try to make a strtr of not usual charafters when you are in a utf8
enviroment, you can do that:
function normaliza ($string){
$string = utf8_decode($string);
$string = strtr($string, utf8_decode( ÂÊÎÔÛÀ), -AEIOU);
$string = strtolower($string);
return $string;

This works for me to remove accents for some characters of Latin-1, Latin-2

fail:

Yes. It matches any character based on the latin 'a' that is not

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?
The original problem was User X submits a character string A. A PHP scripts uses A to search for it's occurences in a DB, ignoring special characters. The result of ze search is a list of character strings M-LIST with matches. This list gets outputted to the user X, but before that all the matching strings should be replaced with 'span style=color: #FF'..'/span' If i clearly got the OP then he is using MySQL to perform the search. I guess he is doing it with MATCH. So MySQL already found the match and in PHP it has to be done again ... eg. The table has 2 entries, string1 and string2 .. string1 = 'Thís ís an éxámplè stríng wíth áccénts.' string2 = 'This is an example string without accents.' Now the user searches for ample: search = '*ample*' Both string have matches due to accent-insensitivity (AI). Now the result is outputted with highlighting .. *Thís ís an éx*span style=color: #FF*ámplè*/span* stríng wíth áccénts.* *This is an ex*span style=color: #FF*ample*/span* string without accents.* So since MySQL already did the job, why not get the occurances from it? I'm not an MySQL expert, but I know google and found something called string functions. Especially a locate function got my interest. http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/string-functions.html#function_locate Now shouldnt it be possible to create a query that searches the db for matches and additionally uses the string function?

Personally, I tend to be biased against using the database to format output for presentation, so I'd rather not push the task off there. Still, I know lots of developers do not share this bias, so I'll address a couple other issues I see with this approach: 1) If the search word appears multiple times, LOCATE() will only find it once. I'd probably use REPLACE() instead. This leads to the next problem: 2) I'm not sure if the OP wants this or not, but if he wants to highlight each of multiple search terms the way many sites do, he would have to split the terms and build a SQL phrase that like this (there are probably other approaches available in MySQL to do the same thing): -- search phrase 'quaint french cafe' SELECT REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(`my_column`, 'quaint', 'span class=keysearchquaint/span'), 'french', 'span class=keysearchfrench/span'), 'cafe', 'span class=keysearchcafe/span') FROM ... In this case, he should get all instances of each word highlighted, but the accented characters would again be replaced with a particular style. (Not to mention the size and complexity of the query being passed from PHP to the database or the potential size of the result being passed from the database to PHP since it now could have lots of formatting text embedded in it.)

Re: [PHP] case and accent - insensitive regular expression?
First of all thank you all for your answers, and thank you for your time
and yes Tedd, my question was quite ambiguous in that point.
Andrew is right, i don't want to change in any way the list of keys I
show in the result, I just want to find the way to higlight the
matching words, regardless of their accent variations.
So I think his Andrew's suggestion could be a good solution, and I'll
try it ASAP...
let me se if i correctly understood:
$search = preg_quote($word); -- quotes chars that could be intrepreted
like regex special chars
$search = str_replace('e', '[eèéêë]', $search); -- trasforms i.e.
cafe in caf[eèéêë], so matches all the accented variations
return preg_replace('/\b' ... -- replaces all the occurences adding
the tags, you use \b as word boundary, right?
it seems a fine soultion to the problem!
the only thing i must add is, befor calling highlight_search_terms, to
'normalize' the word string ( the word used for the search) to
transform it removing the accentated versions of the chars:
$word = preg_replace('[èé]{1}','e',$word);
$word = preg_replace('[à]{1}','a',$word);
that because also the search string could contain an accented char,
and this way I avoid to perform str_replace in the
highlight_search_terms function for every combination of accented chars
well, i think I'm on the good way now, unfortunately I have some other
urgent work and can't try it immediately, but I'll let you know:)
thank you!
Giulio
I may be mistaken (and if I am, then just ignore this as ignorant
rambling), but I don't think he's wanting to replace the accented
characters in the original string. I think he's just wanting the
pattern to find all variations of the same string and highlight them
without changing them. For example, his last paragraph would look
like
this:
[quote]
now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind of regular
expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'span
class=keysearchcafe/span' in a string also if it is 'span
class=keysearchcafé/span', or 'span
class=keysearchCAFÉ/span', or 'span
class=keysearchCAFE/span', and vice-versa.
[/quote]
The best I can think of right now is something like this:
?php
function highlight_search_terms($word, $string) {
$search = preg_quote($word);
$search = str_replace('a', '[aàáâãäå]', $search);
$search = str_replace('e', '[eèéêë]', $search);
/* repeat for each possible accented character */
return preg_replace('/\b' . $search . '\b/i', 'span
class=keysearch$0/span', $string);
}
$string = now my problem is to find a way ( I imagine with some kind
of regular expression ) to achieve in php a search and replace
accent-insensitive, so that i can find the word 'cafe' in a string
also if it is 'café', or 'CAFÉ', or 'CAFE', and vice-versa.;
echo highlight_search_terms('cafe', $string);
?
Andrew
Andrew:
You may be right -- it's ambiguous now that I review it again. He
does say search and replace but I'm not sure if that's what he
really wants. It looks more like search with one string and
highlight all like-strings.
Cheers,
tedd

Three things:
1. Your English is fine.
2. Try using mb_ereg_replace()

Place the accents you want to change in that and change them to whatever you
want.
3. Change:
span style=color: #FF'.$keysearch.'/span'
to
span class=keysearch'.$keysearch.'/span'
and add
.keysearch

You may be right -- it's ambiguous now that I

It looks more like search with one string and
highlight all like-strings.

Because that would make the password comparison case-sensitive (as one

OP wanted the password to be case-INsensitive.

Hi Tedd,
It is NOT the user who determines this ONE password, it's the client... he
gives it out to selected folks to input
For example: he says to a few people: use video to access this page okay?
He would like to make this word case-insensitive so the few people can type
in either Video or VIDEO or video.
Now in the below code auth snippet WHERE do I input some code to make this
one word case-insensitive UPON INPUT.

Re: [PHP] Case sensitive password
Why not md5 the password, and store the md5 encryption.
Then when they type something in, md5 it and compare the md5 strings.
That will ensure that it is Case Sensitive

My client teaches classes and wanted to provide the attendees with a url where they could download PDF files for the class. In this case, they only needed a password AND the password was identical for everyone. Sure attendees could distribute the url and password, but requiring a password makes it just a bit harder than just giving out the url and allowing everyone/thing to download the files. The file were delivered to the user by a password protected script, so no one could bookmark the files. And doing it this way required no effort by my client to keep track of user names. He just taught the class, gave out the url/password, and the software did the rest. So, in this case it made sense.

Thank you for your reply. The password is not stored, actually, like in a databse. We're only dealing with one password.

I don't have time to look up in the manual but I don't remember a case insensitive ksort(). I think there's a uksort() where you could specify your own sorting parameters for the keys. Also, you could create the array with keys run through strtoupper() or strtolower(). If you need the proper upper/lowercase version too, you could store that separately within the array.

OS:debian
I have a script that runs via the cmdline, it's used to import/update
data
in a database, after the script is run the APC cache needs to be
cleared so that
that the new/updated data is visible on the website. to do this I call
a static
method of my cache management class which effectively performs the
following:
apc_clear_cache();
apc_clear_cache(user);
this used to work, but now it does not (atleast not on the cmdline;
calling the
above mentioned method via a webrequest still works). I have not
recently updated
php, apc or apache, neither have made any changes to the php.ini
configuration.
someone else may have updated the OS/system (and I can't rule out that .
to test the problem I ran the following code at the cmdline:
# php -r 'var_dump( ini_get(apc.enable_cli),
apc_clear_cache(),
apc_clear_cache(user) );'
this is the output I get:
string(1) 1
NULL
bool(true)
so apc is enabled for the cli, cache clearance seems to work but when
I checking the output
of the apc.php file (shipped with the apc package) I see that nothing
has been cleared; performing
the same apc_clear_cache() calls (by way of pressing the buttons on
the page output by apc.php) via
the webserver module *does* clear the cache.
it seems all of a sudden that the CLI and then apache SAPI are looking
at different caches -
running apc_cache_info() apc_sma_info() on the commandline show
nothing in the cache whereas
viewing the stats produced by apc.php (via the webserver) shows plenty
of stuff in the cache (both
before and after running apc_cache_info() apc_sma_info() on the
commandline)
can anyone offer some help/idea/etc?
Another Thing:
===
although the manual states that apc_clear_cache() should always return
a boolean
calling it calling the function without any args *always* returns
NULL. can anyone say whether
this is a bug or a documentation problem?
My APC ini settings (as defined in a seperate apc.ini):
===
; Enable APC extension module
extension = apc.so

You could create a script that basically just does apc_clear_cache() et all.
and call it from lynx, curl, wget, etc. and throw that into a cron job. That
would technically get you to call the script from the cli, but it should
clear the webserver cache.

[PHP] Case issue with eregi_replace in text highlight function
Hi all!
I have a text highlight function which does not behave exactly as
needed. Behavior is logical but result is cumbersome.
Instead of replacing the portion of the text with the same portion of
text with some highlighting code added before and after, it replaces the
said text with the chunk of text looked for (highlight), which is an
issue when there is a difference in case.
It is used in a product search engine and it is important to keep the
case the same.
Here is the function:
function highlight_text($text, $highlight) {
return eregi_replace($highlight, span class=highlight . $highlight .
/span, $text);
}
In this case, if the text to highglight is:
MacOS X Super Gizmo
And a client searches for the string macos, the result will be:
span class=highlightmacos/span X Super Gizmo
Not very pritty.
How complicated would it be to prevent this from happening?
Thanks a lot in advance!

That's not where the issue is.
Eregi_replace conducts a case insensitive SEARCH but how the REPLACE
operates has nothing to do with it.
If you use ereg_replace, then it is most obviously not going to replace
MacOS with span class=highlightmacos/span or even span
class=highlightMacOS/span, because the string searched for is of a
different case.

Hi, this is very stupid because you can have files in a directory named: PleaSeINCLUDeMe.php pleaseincludeme.php and if you do a case insensitive include which one should be included? The include stuff works insensitive under windows great because the filesystem does not permit 2 file with the same name in a directory. The example above is not possible. -- Marco 2006/1/11, Albert [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Mathijs wrote: Is there a way to have include() be case-insensitive? Linux file systems are case sensitive.

Due to PHPs dynamic typing, unquoted strings are treated as strings
unless a constant by that name exists. Thankfully it's clever enough to
raise a notice to tell you it couldn't find a constant by that name,
which makes debugging much easier.
The reason constant() throws a warning rather than a notice is because
PHP knows you're looking for a constant by that name and flags it as a
more serious error, wheras before, it could just be that you want to use
an unquoted string :)
If you think it's a bit strange, it may seem so, but logically, if an
unquoted number is equivilent to it's quoted counter-part, the same must
be true for strings.

I did.

This makes perfect sense to me to differentiate between them like this.
ok - agreed that the echo behaviour is logical - but I wasn't actually
pertaining to the echo behaviour (and what was being echo'ed wasn't
relevant to my
original question).
my point is that using a constant directly in your code when that
constant doesn't exist
only causes an E_NOTICE but passing a string to constant() when a
constant of the given
name doesn't exist causes an E_WARNING.
I would either expect both to cause the same level of error OR that
trying to
use an undefined constant directly in code would cause a lower level of
error.
but if you say the error output behaviour is expected/correct/desired
then I'm
happy to except it (and adjust my expectations accordingly)
- if you (anyone) could explain why (because I don't grok the logic behind
this behaviour) I would be very grateful, maybe it will bring me one
step closer
to being able to call myself a real programmer. :-/

Use strcasecmp(): strcasecmp($a, $b) // returns 0 if strings match case-insensitive // non-zero if not This is slightly unfortunate in that the test you have to do is counter-intuitive: if (strcasecmp($a, $b)): // strings DON'T match else: // strings match case-insensitively endif; Nonetheless, I'd prefer this over case-converting both strings and then comparing, as you're only making a single function call to do a comparison with in-line conversion, as opposed to two function calls for the conversions and then a comparison as well.

[PHP] Case Sensitivity
I've had a web site under development on my Win2k box at home. I built and tested everything with PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.3.24. Now, I have transitioned everything up to my host who is using a Linux box, PHP 4.2.2 and Apache 1.3.26. One of the pages I designed has code that retrieves a list of thumbnails from a directory name passed into the page then embeds a hyperlink to a full size version of the thumbnail. Incidentally, the full size version is in the same directory as the thumbnail and has a very similar filename: tn_01.jpg and 01.jpg (guess which one's the thumbnail). Here's the problem: When I run the page on the web host's server, the link to the full size image dies. I've tracked the problem to the case of the linked filename. Basically, unless the filename in the href matches the case of the target file, the link dies and I get that nice, little red X indicating the link to the image is broken. For example, the target image DSC01.JPG _MUST_ be referenced in the href as: href='../path/to/resource/DSC01.JPG' If I reference it as href='../path/to/resource/dsc01.jpg' the target image won't show up. I have temporarily resolved the issue by designating the filename used in the href as upper case using the strtoupper() function, but I can't believe that's the way it's SUPPOSED to be done. What I'd like to know is does the Linux server introduce case-sensitivity issues? It doesn't seem to matter with the elements of the path, just the target filename. Help is appreciated.

Re: [PHP] Case Sensitivity
Linux file systems are case sensitive... So the file Hello.php is different to hello.php... Both can exist at the same time and contain different content, but they are different...On the windows file system files aren't case sensitive so Hello.php would be the same as hello.php... So I suggest in your PHP coding that you get all the cases (of files) the same throughout your app, or if you want to be lazy do what you are doing at the moment (ie changing the case with strtoupper()) Andrew - Original Message - From: Rich Hutchins [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 12, 2002 2:20 AM Subject: [PHP] Case Sensitivity I've had a web site under development on my Win2k box at home.

Filesystems are meant to be case-sensitive, and yes, URL's are as well. It's an abomination that Windows and old-style Mac filesystems are not. You need to keep track of that in your code.

[PHP] case-insensitive str_replace
Hi, I am in need of a case-insensitive str_replace. I've tried the search the archive and documentation, but the mostly suggested thing is to use eregi_replace. But this does not really solve the problem for me since the argument for eregi_replace can't be an array. The feature that I use in str_replace is to put the 'search' and 'replace' argument as an array, as described in the documentation for php = 4.0.5 Some people suggested some functions in the archive and documentation, but I cannot find anything that can receive arrays as the arguments. So I am wondering if anyone has a function that is fully compatible with str_replace for php 4.0.5, but case-insensitive (something like stri_replace). I don't really want to reinvent the wheel here.

Close - it's eregi_replace().
To use preg_replace case-insensitively, just toss an 'i' at the end of
your pattern. Instead of:
preg_replace('/abc/', 'def', $x);
use
preg_replace('/abc/i', 'def', $x);

Anyway, that one goes slower because it has regular expressions. Is there any function that does't have regular expressions, but isn't case sensitive?
RE: [PHP] case insenstive
Just substitute strstr() with stristr()
The extra I in stristr() stands for Insensitive.
If I was insensitive, I would say RTFM :)
If you look under http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strstr.php
It tells you about stristr

I need to make this case insensitive. This seems like over kill?
if((substr($author, 0, 1) == a) or (substr($author, 0, 1)

Re: [PHP] case insenstive
Use strtolower() or strtoupper() to change the case of a string.
And yes doing the same thing twice in the same statement is overkill! :)
if((substr(strtolower($author), 0, 1) == a) ||
(substr(strtolower($author), 0, 1) == a)){}

if ($author[0]=='a' || $author[0]=='A')

or (much slower)
if (strtolower($author[0])=='a')
