TYPO3 Core

Suggested solution: use case shifting functions from t3lib_cs.

Suggestion for a better bug report: list all files (and lines) with the found problem. If you find more than one location it's disappointing to see only a "e.g."..

Why you want to handle it and waste processing power in serverside when clientside can handle it very well??

I will only use that function for non-HTML output.

I agree, I am too lazy.

Most of the mod using strtoupper to display a BOLD header.
But, all of them are not i18n yet. The text are hard coded in php. I think it is another bug, I don't list them here.

After my search, class.tx_cms_layout.php should be the only mod do strtoupper() on a text extract from locallang.

typo3/sysext/cms/layout/class.tx_cms_layout.php
1441: <td class="bgColor2" nowrap="nowrap"><img src="clear.gif" width="1" height="2" alt="" /><br /><div align="center"><b>'.htmlspecialchars(strtoupper($colName)).'</b></div><img src="clear.gif" width="1" height="2" alt="" /></td>

t3lib/class.t3lib_befunc.php
2026: if ($config) $lines[$fname].='<strong>'.strtoupper(htmlspecialchars($config)).'</strong><br />';

t3lib\class.t3lib_formmail.php
123: $Plain_content.= strtoupper($key).': '.$space.$val."\n".$space;

1. $value = strtr($value, '���������������', '���������������'); // WILL make trouble with other charsets than ISO-8859-1, so what do we do here? PHP-function which can handle this for other charsets? Currently the browsers JavaScript will fix it.
   break;
   case 'lower':
   $value = strtolower($value);
2. $value = strtr($value, '���������������', '���������������'); // WILL make trouble with other charsets than ISO-8859-1, so what do we do here? PHP-function which can handle this for other charsets? Currently the browsers JavaScript will fix it.
   break;

EXT:sr_static_info/pi1/class.tx_srstaticinfo_pi1.php
582: $formatedAddress = str_replace('%countryName', strtoupper($countryName), $formatedAddress);

EXT:tt_board/pi/board_submit.inc
122: $markersArray["###SUBJECT###"] = strtoupper($this->newData["tt_board"]["NEW"][subject]);

I like the idea of using CSS for this, but please not
<b style="text-transform:uppercase">
but rather
<span style="font-weight:bold; text-transform:uppercase;">

isn't that related to the turkish strtoupper problem?

Then the first step would be to search and replace all strtoupper() functions with the TYPO3-own function for uppercasing.

Second would be the semantic approach to look for places where strtouppper is used wrongly.

use t3lib_div::strtoupper for safe conversion.
Also look for
strtolower => t3lib_div::strtolower

Hey,

I attached a list of all places where strotupper / lower is used. If anyone wants to go through all places and see where it needs to change, go for it.

ok, i do

i uploaded the patch - heavy stuff :-)

Blindly replacing every occurence of strtolower or strtoupper is bad. There are cases when it is not needed. For example:

if (strtolower($str) === 'true') {

-1 for the current solution as it is inefective.

Hey Dmitry,

in such cases, wouldn't it make sense to do a "stricmp($str, 'true') == 0" ?
