code to disregard captilization

[elis]

I have the following code:
[code]if($userpenname==($_POST['recip']))
{$output.="........."[/code]

Problem is the 'if' function is only being carried if the character cases match exactly, is there a method to get the function to disregard capitalization?

[Barand]

use strtolower() or strtoupper() to covert both to same capitalization.

EDIT or use strcasecmp()

[HuggieBear]

Make them both the same type...

[code]
<?php
if (strtolower($userpanname) == strtolower($_POST['recip'])){
  // output here
}
?>
[/code]

Ah, thank you. This worked out quite well.
