My question is rather explanation for the Turkish colleges who have troubles with our funny characters.
It is for sure PHP 5 has a bug by capitalizing and also therefore collating them.
echo mb_strtoupper('Turkish capitals for ğ, i, ı, ş in uppercase', 'UTF-8');
gives the result: "TURKISH CAPITALS FOR Ğ, I, I, Ş IN UPPERCASE".
But it is wrong. The correct output should be "TURKİSH CAPİTALS FOR Ğ, İ, I, Ş İN UPPERCASE"
The problem in our language we have "i" in capitals "İ" and "ı" in capitals "I".
I guess you see the problem.
Whom shall we report this bug in PHP, does anybody know? Please inform and if you write a subroutine to solve this problem temporarily, it will be appreciated. Thanks ahead.
