array_change_key_case

    (PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5, PHP 7, PHP 8)

    array_change_key_case — Changes the case of all keys in an array

    Description

    array_change_key_case(array $array, int $case = CASE_LOWER): array

    Returns an array with all keys from array lowercased or uppercased. Numbered indices are left as is.

    Parameters

    array

    The array to work on

    case

    Either CASE_UPPER or CASE_LOWER (default)

    Return Values

    Returns an array with its keys lower or uppercased.

    Examples

    Example #1 array_change_key_case() example

    <?php
    $input_array     = array("FirSt" => 1, "SecOnd" => 4);
    print_r(array_change_key_case($input_array, CASE_UPPER));
    ?>

    The above example will output:

    Array
(
    [FIRST] => 1
    [SECOND] => 4
)

    Notes

    Note:

    If an array has indices that will be the same once run through this function (e.g. "keY" and "kEY"), the value that is later in the array will override other indices.

    Unicode example;

    <?php
    function array_change_key_case_unicode($arr, $c = CASE_LOWER) {
    $c = ($c == CASE_LOWER) ? MB_CASE_LOWER : MB_CASE_UPPER;
    foreach (    $arr as $k => $v) {
    $ret[mb_convert_case($k, $c, "UTF-8")] = $v;
    }
    return     $ret;
    }

    $arr = array("FirSt" => 1, "yağ" => "Oil", "şekER" => "sugar");
    print_r(array_change_key_case($arr, CASE_UPPER));
    print_r(array_change_key_case_unicode($arr, CASE_UPPER));
    ?>

    Array
    (
    [FIRST] => 1
    [YAğ] => Oil

    I improve the array_change_key_case_recursive function ,let it can lowercase or uppercase keys

    function array_change_key_case_recursive($arr, $case = CASE_LOWER)
    {
    return array_map(function($item) use($case) {
    if(is_array($item))
    $item = array_change_key_case_recursive($item, $case);
    return $item;
    },array_change_key_case($arr, $case));
    }

    Here is the most compact way to lower case keys in a multidimensional array

    function array_change_key_case_recursive($arr)
    {
    return array_map(function($item){
    if(is_array($item))
    $item = array_change_key_case_recursive($item);
    return $item;
    },array_change_key_case($arr));

    }
    return     $ret;

    $arr = array("FirSt" => 1, "ZażóŁć gęŚlą jaŹń" => array("yağ" => "Oil", "şekER" => "sugar") );
    print_r(array_change_key_case($arr, CASE_UPPER));
    print_r(array_change_key_case_unicode_recurs($arr, CASE_UPPER));

    Use this to capitalize first letter of all array keys:

    <?php

    function ucfirstKeys(&$data)
    {
    foreach (    $data as $key => $value)
    {
    // Convert key
    $newKey = ucfirst($key);

    // Change key if needed
    if ($newKey != $key)
    {
    unset(    $data[$key]);
    $data[$newKey] = $value;
    }

    // Handle nested arrays
    if (is_array($value))
    {
    ucfirstKeys($data[$key]);
    }
    }
    }

    $test = array('foo' => 'bar', 'moreFoo' => array('more' => 'foo'));
    ucfirstKeys($test);
    print_r($test);

    ?>

    Result:
    Array ( [MoreFoo] => Array ( [More] => foo ) [Foo] => bar )

    Simple function to change multidimensional array's all values to uppercase. If you would like to change to lowercase then change "mb_strtoupper" to "mb_strtolower". It works perfect for me ;)
