使用preg_replace（）和regex将大写字符串替换为小写

Question

Is it possible to replace an upper-case with lower-case using preg_replace and regex ?

For example:

The following string:

$x="HELLO LADIES!";

I want to convert it to:

 hello ladies!

using preg_replace() :

 echo preg_replace("/([A-Z]+)/","$1",$x);

Answer 1

I think this is what you are trying to accomplish:

$x="HELLO LADIES! This is a test";
echo preg_replace_callback('/\b([A-Z]+)\b/', function ($word) {
      return strtolower($word[1]);
      }, $x);

Output:

hello ladies! This is a test

If you just want the whole string to be lowercase though than just use strtolower on the whole thing.
