RE: [PHP] case insenstive

[Kearns, Terry]

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

Re: [PHP] case insenstive

[Frank]

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

or (much slower)

if (strtolower($author[0])=='a')
{
...
}

[Kevin Stone]

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")){}

I need to make this case insensitive. This seems like over kill?

 if((substr($author, 0, 1) == "a") or (substr($author, 0, 1) == "a")) {
}
