srtolower function problem

edited October 2007 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Hi to all.

I'am from Russia, so I must use unicode UTF8. But there is one big problem - strtolower PHP function does not understands unicode. That is why, for exapmle, search.php not works with russian keywords (because BreakKeywords function in Vanilla uses strtolower function).

There is mb_strtolower since PHP 4.3 version, witch works with multi byte strings. But it is not build-in fuction and it's avaliable only as extention (php_mbstring.dll).

There is one way to solve this problem "transparently".

Somewhere in begin of initialising Vanilla core write:

if (!function_exists('mb_strtolower')) { function mb_strtolower($s) { return strtolower($s); } }

And after that change "strtolower" to 'mb_strtolower' at every place in Vanilla code.

In case if PHP has php_mbstring.dll - Vanilla will works correctly with unicode strings. Another case - will use strtolower function.

P.S. Thanks for Vanilla!
