IntlChar::isupper

(PHP 7, PHP 8)

IntlChar::isupper — Check if code point has the general category "Lu" (uppercase letter)

Description

public static IntlChar::isupper(mixed $codepoint): bool

Determines whether the specified code point has the general category "Lu" (uppercase letter).

Note:

This misses some characters that are also uppercase but have a different general category value. In order to include those, use IntlChar::isUUppercase().

Parameters

codepoint

The int codepoint value (e.g. 0x2603 for U+2603 SNOWMAN), or the character encoded as a UTF-8 string (e.g. "\u{2603}")

Return Values

Returns true if codepoint is an Lu uppercase letter, false if not.

Examples

Example #1 Testing different code points

<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::isupper("A"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isupper("a"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isupper("Φ"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isupper("φ"));
var_dump(IntlChar::isupper("1"));
?>

The above example will output:

bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(true)
bool(false)
bool(false)
