array_key_exists

Please tell me how to check the key based on any case.

ow $sec will check for the exact case. How can  I make it insensitive

 

 

    public static function getSMap($sec) {
$sects = self::$Mappings;
	         if(array_key_exists($sec, $Mappings)) {
                return $sects[$sec];
}

   static $Mappings = array(
        "BUINESS" => 'business',
        "TOP 100" => 'business';
         "busine" => 'business';
}

You can get  a list of all the key names using array_keys, convert them all to lowercase using strtolower+array_map and then check if your value exists in that array.

 

<?php

function array_key_exists_case($arr, $keyName){
    $allKeys=array_keys($arr);
    $allKeysLower=array_map('strtolower', $allKeys);
    
    $idx = array_search(strtolower($keyName), $allKeysLower);
    if ($idx===false){ return false; }
    else { return $allKeys[$idx]; }
}

 

 

That function will check if the key exists in a case insensitive manner.  It will return false if it does not exist.  If it does exist, it returns the key in the case it exists as so you can use that to access the value.

Thanks. Please tell me how to modify the above code without adding another function.

just integrate the code give to you by kicken into your original function, but its a useful function, why not keep it seperate? if you tie it into another function it will be less resuseable
