Syntax:
bool IntlChar::islower( $codepoint )
Parameter: This function accepts a single parameter $codepoint which is mandatory. The input parameter is a character, which is encoded as a UTF-8 string.
Return Value: If $codepoint is a lowercase character then it returns True, otherwise return False.
Below programs illustrate the IntlChar::islower() function in PHP:
Program 1:
PHP
<?php // PHP code to illustrate IntlChar::islower() // function // Input data is character type var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "a" )); var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "A" )); var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "\u{0041}" )); // Input data is control character var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "\t" )); // Input data is string type var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "Geeksforneveropen" )); // Input data is number type var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "2018" )); // Input data is single digit var_dump(IntlChar::islower( "5" )); ?> |
Output:
bool(true) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) NULL NULL bool(false)
Note: If String and Numbers (except single digit number) are used as a parameter then it returns NULL.
Program 2:
PHP
<?php // PHP code to illustrate IntlChar::islower() // Declare an array $arr $arr = array ( "a" , "\u{FF41}" , "A" , "\u{0041}" , "0" , "\n" , "123" , "Geeks" ); // \u{0041} is ASCII value of 'A' // \u{FF41} is ASCII value of 'a' // Loop run for every array element foreach ( $arr as $val ){ // Check each element as code point data var_dump(IntlChar::islower( $val )); } ?> |
Output:
bool(true) bool(true) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) bool(false) NULL NULL
