IntlChar::islower

    (PHP 7, PHP 8)

    IntlChar::islower — Check if code point is a lowercase letter

    Description

    public static IntlChar::islower(int|string $codepoint): ?bool

    Determines whether the specified code point has the general category "Ll" (lowercase letter).

    Note:

    This misses some characters that are also lowercase but have a different general category value. In order to include those, use IntlChar::isULowercase().

    Parameters

    codepoint

    The int codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603 for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}")

    Return Values

    Returns true if codepoint is an Ll lowercase letter, false if not. Returns null on failure.

    Examples

    Example #1 Testing different code points

    <?php
    var_dump    (IntlChar::islower("A"));
    var_dump(IntlChar::islower("a"));
    var_dump(IntlChar::islower("Φ"));
    var_dump(IntlChar::islower("φ"));
    var_dump(IntlChar::islower("1"));
    ?>

    The above example will output:

    bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
