Is there a function for this?

[Nick_W]

Hi all,

Messing with Perl does my head in, I'm a php chap. Can some one tell me how to make a varible all lower case please?

'This_needs_To_be_Lower'

like this:

'this_needs_to_be_lower'

Much obliged...

Nick

$lwr_string = lc($string);

[Nick_W]

Awsome!

Ta very much that man!

or just

"\L$string"
