php: Array keys case *insensitive* lookup?

Question

$myArray = array (\'SOmeKeyNAme\' => 7);  

I want $myArray[\'somekeyname\'] to return 7.
Is there a way to do this

Answer 1

I know this is an older question but the most elegant way to handle this problem is to use:

array_change_key_case($myArray); //second parameter is CASE_LOWER by default

In your example:

$myArray = array ('SOmeKeyNAme' => 7);
$myArray = array_change_key_case($myArray);

Afterwards $myArray will contain all lowercase keys:

echo $myArray['somekeyname'] will contain 7

Alternatively you can use:

array_change_key_case($myArray, CASE_UPPER);
