PHP Manual: strtoupper

Description

function strtoupper(string $string): string

Returns string with all ASCII alphabetic characters converted to uppercase.

Bytes in the range "a" (0x61) to "z" (0x7a) will be converted to the corresponding uppercase letter by subtracting 32 from each byte value.

This can be used to convert ASCII characters within strings encoded with UTF-8, since multibyte UTF-8 characters will be ignored. To convert multibyte non-ASCII characters, use mb_strtoupper().

Parameters

string: The input string.

Return Values

Returns the uppercased string.

Changelog

Version	Description
8.2.0	Case conversion no longer depends on the locale set with setlocale(). Only ASCII characters will be converted.

Examples

echo $str; // Prints MARY HAD A LITTLE LAMB AND SHE LOVED IT SO
