“How I Explained REST to My Wife”

PHP: lcfirst

I need to make the first character of the string lowercase. I know ucfirst exists and I supposed that there is a “lcfirst” one as well.

When I started to type “lcfirst”, Zend Studio didn’t suggest me a function with this name and it was interesting. PHP documentation says that it is available but it throws an exception. What the hack goes wrong?

Here is the answer: It was too late and too hard to keep my eyes open

lcfirst function is available in newly released version of PHP, 5.3. I am still using 5.2.9. Here is a code snippet:

if (!function_exists('lcfirst')) {
function lcfirst($string) {
return substr_replace($string, strtolower(substr($string, 0, 1)), 0, 1);
}
}

It is unbelivable that I don’t ever need the function lcfirst before.
