The array_change_key_case() function is an inbuilt function in PHP and is used to change case of all of the keys in a given array either to lower case or upper case. Syntax:
array array_change_key_case(in_array, convert_case)
Parameters: This function accepts two parameters out of which one is mandatory and the other is optional. The two parameters are described below:
  1. in_array (mandatory): This parameter refers to the array whose key's case is needed to be changed.
  2. convert_case (optional): This is an optional parameter and refers to the 'case' in which we need to convert the keys of the array. This can take two values, either CASE_UPPER or CASE_LOWER. CASE_UPPER value determines the uppercase and CASE_LOWER determines lowercase. If the convert_case parameter is not passed then it's default value is taken which is CASE_LOWER.
Note: If the second parameter is ignored then by default the keys of array will get converted to lowercase. Return Type: The function returns an array with the changed case of the key, either to lowercase or to upper case. Let us now look at some programs to get a better understanding of working of array_change_key_case() function.
  • Below program converts the case of keys to uppercase:
    Output:
    Array
    (
        [AAKASH] => 90
        [RAGHAV] => 80
        [SITA] => 95
        [ROHAN] => 85
        [RISHAV] => 70
    )
    
  • If we ignore the second parameter convert_case in the function array_change_key_case() then the keys will be converted to lowercase. Below program illustrates this:
    Output:
    Array
    (
        [aakash] => 90
        [raghav] => 80
        [sita] => 95
        [rohan] => 85
        [rishav] => 70
    )
    
  • If we don't pass an array to the function then PHP_Warning is popped up, but the program works and No Output is generated. Below program illustrates this
    Output:
    No Output
    
    Warning:
