I have a thing in php where I made a censoring list:

Code:

$vowels = array(" ", " ");
$bad = str_replace($vowels, "*", "$stringr");

but I was just wondering is there a way to make it not case sensitive for example,
if teh word hello was in the list, and a user entered HElLo it would still replace it with a * (asterick)?

strtoupper($badWord)==strtoupper($bAdWOrD)

Thanks! It never struck me to just make the string lower-case!

Ok, this is a pretty basic question, but google doesn't seem to be able to find what I want. I would like to make a string not case sensitive, for example:
$vaiable = Hello;
the code if ($variable == "hello") {} doesn't work in this case, so I was wondering if theres a not_case_sensitive() opertator or somethign similar?

Help appreciated!

(strcasecmp() doesn't work)

$variable = strtolower('Hello');
edit: whoops if( $variable == strtolower('Hello') ) {stuff}

no, because I don't want the string to be lowercase, I just want php to detect it as lowercase.

Make an extra variable to change it to lower case for checking. smile And if it equals that, use the original variable.
