PHP – Case folding in a string using mb_convert_case()

mb_convert_case() is an inbuilt function in PHP that is used to perform case folding on a given string.

Syntax

string mb_convert_case(str $string, int $mode, str $encoding)

Parameters

mb_convert_case() accepts three parameters: $string, $mode and $encoding to perform case folding on a string.

• $string− This parameter is used to return the string being converted.

• $mode: The mode parameter is used for the mode of the conversion. It can be used for multibyte string conversion for MB_CASE_UPPER, MB_CASE_LOWER, MB_CASE_TITLE, MB_CASE_FOLD, MB_CASE_UPPER_SIMPLE, MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE, MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE, MB_CASE_FOLD_SIMPLE.

• $encoding: This parameter is the character encoding. If it is omitted or null, then the internal character encoding value will be used

Return Values

mb_convert_case() is used to return the string mode of the conversion.

Note: From PHP 7.3.0, some multibyte functions are added as mode, such as MB_CASE_FOLD, MB_CASE_UPPER_SIMPLE, MB_CASE_LOWER_SIMPLE, MB_CASE_TITLE_SIMPLE, and MB_CASE_FOLD_SIMPLE.
