How to Upper Serbian letters, Č,Ć,Š,Đ,Ž in PHP

Question

I got a problem to make upper letters in php.

I tried this function:

function strtouper_srbija($string) {
    $low=array("č" => "Č", "ž" => "Ž", "Š" => "š","Đ" => "đ","Č" => "č");
    return strtoupper(strtr($string,$low));
}

and tried to use with some POST data from html page,text filed,but no succes,so if you have solutions,will be fine..

Also, I found solution with CSS, with text-transform: uppercase;, but will be fine to have PHP example.

If your example doesn't work, when it should, then you probably have some encoding issues. See this > http://stackoverflow.com/questions/279170/utf-8-all-the-way-through — Glavić, Dec 31 '13 at 10:14
Plus, your function is `strtoUPPER`, but you are converting uppercase to lowercase, like `"Š" => "š"` etc. Your [function](https://eval.in/84338) should work. What is the exact problem? — Glavić, Dec 31 '13 at 10:23

Couldn't you use mb_strtoupper?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mb-strtoupper.php

<?php
$str = "Τάχιστη αλώπηξ βαφής ψημένη γη, δρασκελίζει υπέρ νωθρού κυνός";
$str = mb_strtoupper($str, 'UTF-8');
echo $str; // Prints ΤΆΧΙΣΤΗ ΑΛΏΠΗΞ ΒΑΦΉΣ ΨΗΜΈΝΗ ΓΗ, ΔΡΑΣΚΕΛΊΖΕΙ ΥΠΈΡ ΝΩΘΡΟΎ ΚΥΝΌΣ
?>

Loop trough your string using a foreach loop:

function strtouper_srbija($string) {
    $letters = array("č" => "Č", "ž" => "Ž", "š" => "Š", "đ" => "Đ", "ć" => "Ć");
    $newString = $string;
    foreach ($letters as $lower=>$upper){
        $newString = str_replace($lower, $upper, $newString);
    }
    return $newString;
    }

Other way from Glavić

function strtouper_srbija($string) {
    $letters = array("č" => "Č", "ž" => "Ž", "š" => "Š", "đ" => "Đ", "ć" => "Ć");
    return str_replace(array_keys($letters), array_values($letters), $string);
}

echo strtouper_srbija('testiram ščćžđ ŠČĆŽĐ');

You cannot `foreach` a string like that. – Glavić Dec 31 '13 at 10:11
And `$newString;` is a wrong way of declaring a empty variable; if you had error reporting on, you would probably see `Notice: Undefined variable: newString`. – Glavić Dec 31 '13 at 10:12
@Glavić hhh why did you let me strugling with it? – rullof Dec 31 '13 at 10:24
@Glavić Yes i know that this was your purpose tanks! – rullof Dec 31 '13 at 10:26

Here is the answer... Edit your php script and add function like this: 1:

function sumniki($string)
{ 
$sumniki = array("ć", "Ć", "č", "Č", "š", "Š", "ž", "Ž"); 
$koda = array("&#263;", "&#264;", "&#269;", "&#268;", "&#154;", "&#138;", "&#158;", "&#142;"); 

$nova = str_replace($sumniki, $koda, $string); 
return $nova; 
}

2: add "sumniki" to your code like this

$name = sumniki($_POST['name']);
$email = sumniki($_POST['email']);

and so on if you have more...
