Hi all, I have a problem while converting the string into upper case by using the strtoupper function. I want to convert the string which has some special characters in it. For example, med vänlig hälsning, António etc. There are lots of strings / words with some special characters in it. It cannot be listed. As I want to convert them into upper case, I tried.strtoupper(hälsning), it's just converting it as: HäLSNING and then writes onto the database. But I want that special character - ' ä ' also to be converted into upper case and then onto the database. How do I get rid of this problem and convert into upper case ?. PLS. HELP ME.
