strtoupper on international characters

[bronto]

I have an application that stores articles & authors the eventually outputs data in xml for publishing. When finally published, we convert all the author names to uppercase.

This isn't working with non-english characters on our linux server, but it is on my Windows development pc. For example, I have one name stored as:

Pierre-François

On my Windows PC, running it through strtoupper() converts it to:

PIERRE-FRANÇOIS

while on the Linux server it converts to:

PIERRE-FRANçOIS

I have the xml encoding set at UTF-8 in the xml header like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

What am I missing?

Until PHP6 comes out with its (supposed) native UTF-8 support, you may need to use [man]mb_strtoupper/man.

Thanks, that seems to work 😃
