Description

I give a simple example of Portuguese. The word for action is "ação".

When I create a filter with Zend_Filter_StringToUpper() and call method filter for argument "ação", the result is "AçãO".
When I create a filter with Zend_Filter_StringToLower() and call method filter for argument "AÇÃO", the result is "aÇÃo".

I think that this problem is equally inconvenient to speakers (and writers) of French and German, and others whose languages uses accents.

The filter must convert accent characters too.

I tried to use setlocale(LC_ALL,"pt-BR"); before filter, but nothing has changed.

I am using PHP 5.2.

For me both filters are working also on german umlauts or accedent characters. This is even unittested.

Can you give an reproduceable example of your problem?

Try assign encoding.

$filter = new Zend_Filter_StringToUpper('UTF-8');
echo $filter->filter('ação');

Aswering to Thomas Weidner, the example can be made into an indexAction() so:

public function indexAction()

{ $filter = new Zend_Filter_StringToUpper(); echo $filter->filter('ação'); exit; }

The response will be "AçãO".

However, I follow the guideline of Ramon Henrique Ornelas and change the code to:

public function indexAction()

{ $filter = new Zend_Filter_StringToUpper('UTF-8'); echo $filter->filter('ação'); exit; }

Setting the encoding of browser to UTF-8, the response was "AÇÃO".

So... that is not a bug... excuse me, and thank you at same time.
