# array_change_key_case

(PHP 4 >= 4.2.0, PHP 5)

array_change_key_case -- Returns an array with all string keys lowercased or uppercased

## Description

array array_change_key_case ( array input [, int case] )

array_change_key_case() changes the keys in the input array to be all lowercase or uppercase. The change depends on the last optional case parameter. You can pass two constants there, `CASE_UPPER` and `CASE_LOWER`. The default is `CASE_LOWER`. The function will leave number indices as is.

Example 1. array_change_key_case() example
`<?php $input_array = array("FirSt" => 1, "SecOnd" => 4); print_r(array_change_key_case($input_array, CASE_UPPER)); ?>`
The above example will output:
    Array
    (
        [FIRST] => 1
        [SECOND] => 4
    )

If an array has indices that will be the same once run through this function (e.g. "keY" and "kEY"), the value that is later in the array will override other indices.
