For example: mb_strtoupper( 'ς' ) === mb_strtoupper( 'Σ' ) === 'Σ' Thus, most people would probably consider 'ς' and 'Σ' equal ignoring case. However: mb_strtolower( 'ς' ) -> ς mb_strtolower( 'Σ' ) -> σ so a simple lower-case (even a multi-byte one), then a binary compare will not work. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
