How to check if letter is upper or lower in PHP?

Question

I have texts in UTF-8 with diacritic characters also, and would like to check if first letter of this text is upper case or lower case. How to do this?

Answer 1

Use ctype_upper for check upper case:

$a = array("Word", "word", "wOrd");

foreach($a as $w)
{
    if(ctype_upper($w{0}))
    {
        print $w;
    }
}
