Question

i have page and it has,

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">

when i try to change string with strtolower(). it is not working on “Ç,Ö,Ü,Ğ,Ş”.

example,
$str= "ÇaTPÖ";
$str = strtolower($str);

//$str = "ÇatpÖ";


also i try to change them with ereg_replace(), but not working again.

$str = ereg_replace("Ç","ç",$str);

$str = ereg_replace("Ö","ö",$str);

Multibyte extension isn’t enabled on my server. So i can’t use any mb_*-functions.

example,
$str = mb_strtolower($str, 'windows-1254');

So what can i do?

Answer 1

You may be able to do this by changing your locale.

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'pt_BR');

As long as you know the proper locale to use in place of ‘pt_BR’, this may work.
