IntlChar::getPropertyName
(PHP 7)
IntlChar::getPropertyName — Get the Unicode name for a property
Description
$property
[, int $nameChoice
= IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME
] ) : stringReturns the Unicode name for a given property, as given in the Unicode database file PropertyAliases.txt.
In addition, this function maps the property IntlChar::PROPERTY_GENERAL_CATEGORY_MASK
to the
synthetic names "gcm" / "General_Category_Mask". These names are not in PropertyAliases.txt.
This function compliments IntlChar::getPropertyEnum().
Parameters
-
property
-
The Unicode property to lookup (see the IntlChar::PROPERTY_* constants).
IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE
should not be used. Also, ifproperty
is out of range,FALSE
is returned. -
nameChoice
-
Selector for which name to get. If out of range,
FALSE
is returned.All properties have a long name. Most have a short name, but some do not. Unicode allows for additional names; if present these will be returned by adding 1, 2, etc. to
IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME
.
Return Values
Returns the name, or FALSE
if either the property
or the nameChoice
is out of range.
If a given nameChoice
returns FALSE
, then all larger values of
nameChoice
will return FALSE
, with one exception: if FALSE
is returned for
IntlChar::SHORT_PROPERTY_NAME
, then IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME
(and higher) may still return a non-FALSE
value.
Examples
Example #1 Testing different properties
<?php
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyName(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS));
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyName(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS, IntlChar::SHORT_PROPERTY_NAME));
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyName(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS, IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME));
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyName(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS, IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME + 1));
?>
The above example will output:
string(10) "Bidi_Class" string(2) "bc" string(10) "Bidi_Class" bool(false)
