strtoupper() converts ASCII a-z to uppercase. Use mb_strtoupper() for non-ASCII Unicode case conversion.
$value = 'Php Tutorial 2026';
echo strtoupper($value); // PHP TUTORIAL 2026Start with this current pattern. The examples below are retained, corrected where necessary, and expanded for additional variations and output.
$my_str="Hello welcome to plus2net.com";
$my_str=strtoupper($my_str);
echo $my_str;
Above code output will be
HELLO WELCOME TO PLUS2NET.COM
Syntax
$val=strtoupper($input_sting);
We can use strtoupper() function in PHP to change all the alphabetic characters to uppercase. This simple function takes one string as input and changes the characters present inside to uppercase.
When comparing user input, converting both inputs to uppercase ensures case-insensitivity:
$input = "hello";
if (strtoupper($input) === strtoupper("HELLO")) {
echo "Inputs match!";
}
For handling multibyte characters, use *mb_strtoupper()* instead:
$str = "élève";
echo mb_strtoupper($str); // Outputs: ÉLÈVE
