Array Functions
Script to change case of sub-arrays keys to lower . It works well for me. hope it helps.
<?php
$array=array("First"=>"val1","SecoNd"=>"val2",
"third"=>array("third-INner1"=>"val3.1"),
"fourth"=>array("FouthINNer1"=>"val4.1","FourthINNER2"=>"val4.2"));
print_r($array);
$key=array_keys($array);
foreach($key as $ki)
{
$klower=strtolower($ki);
$val=$array[$ki];
if(is_array($val))
{
foreach($val as $kinner=>$vinner)
{
$tl=strtolower($kinner);
unset($val[$kinner]);
$val[$tl]=$vinner;
}
}
unset($array[$ki]);
$array[$klower]=$val;
}
echo "<br> After Changing Key to-LowerCase : <br>";
print_r($array);
?>
array_change_key_case
(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)
array_change_key_case — Changes all keys in an array
Description
array array_change_key_case
( array $input
[, int $case = CASE_LOWER
] )
Returns an array with all keys from input lowercased or uppercased. Numbered indices are left as is.
Parameters
- input
-
The array to work on
- case
-
Either CASE_UPPER or CASE_LOWER (default)
Return Values
Returns an array with its keys lower or uppercased, or FALSE if input is not an array.
Errors/Exceptions
Throws E_WARNING if input is not an array.
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.

<?php
// improving the previous script
function ack_r3(&$array, $case=CASE_LOWER, $flag_rec=false)
{
$array = array_change_key_case($array, $case);
if ( $flag_rec ) {
foreach ($array as $key => $value) {
if ( is_array($value) ) {
ack_r3($array[$key], $case, true);
}
}
}
}
// same of array_change_key_case
$arr = array('ID' => 1, 'NAME'=> 'Luis', 'Contact' => array('PHONE' => '3010-7148', 'E-MAIL' => 'luis@net.com') );
ack_r3($arr, CASE_LOWER,false);
var_dump($arr);
$arr = array('ID' => 1, 'NAME'=> 'Luis', 'Contact' => array('PHONE' => '3010-7148', 'E-MAIL' => 'luis@net.com') );
ack_r3($arr, CASE_LOWER,true);
var_dump($arr);

outputs:

Script to change case of sub-arrays keys:
<?php
function arrKey2Lower(&$arrVals) {
foreach( $arrVals as $key => $item ) {
$key2 = strtolower($key);
if ( $key2 != $key) {
unset($arrVals[$key]);
$arrVals[$key2]=$item;
$key=$key2;
}
if ( is_array($item) ) { arrKey2Lower($arrValores[$key]); }
}
}
$arr = array('ID' => 1, 'NAME'=> 'Luis', 'Contact' => array('PHONE' => '3010-7148', 'E-MAIL' => 'luis@net.com') );
arrKey2Lower($arr);
var_dump($arr);
?>
outputs:
array(3) {
["id"]=>
int(1)
["name"]=>
string(4) "Luis"
["contact"]=>
array(2) {
["phone"]=>
string(9) "3010-7148"
["e-mail"]=>
string(12) "luis@net.com"
}
}

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 ;)
<?php
function change_case_recursive($arr){
foreach ($arr as $key=>$val){
if (!is_array($arr[$key])){
$arr[$key]=mb_strtoupper($arr[$key]);
}else{
$arr[$key]=change_case_recursive($arr[$key]);
}
}
return $arr;
}
?>

Same as array_change_key_case only with the values. This should really be part of PHP!
<?php
/**
* @brief Returns an array with all values lowercased or uppercased.
* @return array Returns an array with all values lowercased or uppercased.
* @param object $input The array to work on
* @param int $case [optional] Either \c CASE_UPPER or \c CASE_LOWER (default).
*/
function array_change_value_case(array $input, $case = CASE_LOWER) {
switch ($case) {
case CASE_LOWER:
return array_map('strtolower', $input);
break;
case CASE_UPPER:
return array_map('strtoupper', $input);
break;
default:
trigger_error('Case is not valid, CASE_LOWER or CASE_UPPER only', E_USER_ERROR);
return false;
}
}
?>

Below is a recursive version of this function.
<?php

* @param integer $case
*/
function array_change_key_case_recursive($input, $case = null){
if(!is_array($input)){
trigger_error("Invalid input array '{$array}'",E_USER_NOTICE); exit;
}
// CASE_UPPER|CASE_LOWER
if(null === $case){
$case = CASE_LOWER;
}
if(!in_array($case, array(CASE_UPPER, CASE_LOWER))){
trigger_error("Case parameter '{$case}' is invalid.", E_USER_NOTICE); exit;
}
$input = array_change_key_case($input, $case);
foreach($input as $key=>$array){
if(is_array($array)){
$input[$key] = array_change_key_case_recursive($array, $case);
}
}
return $input;
}
?>

Basically this is the function if your version is lower than 4.2.0
<?php
if ( !defined('CASE_LOWER') )define('CASE_LOWER', 0);
if ( !defined('CASE_UPPER') )define('CASE_UPPER', 1);
if(!function_exists("array_change_key_case")){
function array_change_key_case($input, $case=0){
if(!is_array($input))return FALSE;
$product = array();
foreach($input as $key => $value){
if($case){ //Upper
$key2 = ( (is_string($key)) ? (strtoupper($key)) : ($key) );
$product[$key2] = $value;
}
else{ //Lower
$key2 = ( (is_string($key)) ? (strtolower($key)) : ($key) );
$product[$key2] = $value;
}
}
return $product;
}/* endfunction array_change_key_case */
}/* endfunction exists array_change_key_case*/

I just changed the code a little bit so you havent got a code that repeats itself.
<?php
function array_change_key_case_secure($array = array(), $case = CASE_UPPER){
$secure = array();
$functionWrap = array(CASE_UPPER => 'strtoupper',
CASE_LOWER => 'strtolower');
foreach($array as $key => $val){
if(isset($functionWrap[$key])){
$key = $functionWrap[$case]($key);
$secure[$key][] = $val;
} else {
die('Not a known Type');
}
}
foreach($secure as $key => $val){
if(count($secure[$key]) == 1){
$secure[$key] = $val[0];
}
}
return $secure;
}
$myArray = array('A' => 'Hello',
'B' => 'World',
'a' => 'how are you?');
print_r($myArray);
$myArray = array_change_key_case_secure($myArray);
print_r($myArray);
/*
Array
(
[A] => Hello
[B] => World
[a] => how are you?
)
Array
(
[A] => Array
(
[0] => Hello
[1] => how are you?
)
[B] => World
)
