[RESOLVED] Reading Combinations of Caps and Lowercase

[middleman666]

hey people,

I know theres something out there that does this but I can't think of the name of it so need a little push in the right direction...

if i have:

$name = 'tom';

but tom has logged in as TOM or Tom or even toM

I want to be able to take that into consideration when using an if function to check that it's tom thats logged in.

For example, if I have:

if ($_SESSION['user'] == $name){
  echo 'you are '.$name;
}

I want it to be able to go through each combination of uppercase and lowercase options for the name 'tom' rather than just the lowercase 'tom'

🙂 hope that made sense,

any help is welcome,
Thanks.

Why not convert both strings to lower case and then see if the lower-case versions are equal? There is a string function specifically for converting strings to lower case.

good idea, cheers!

for those that may want to know the function, its:

strtolower()

Thanks.
