just as well for UTF-8 usages = I meant also for NONE UTF-8 usages (to keep the numbers unchanged)

/*

Here's a function that adds to carmel.alex's utf-8 encoding support the ability NOT to reverse numbers (for example when you output a phrase as a parameter for a SWF file that can't handle RTL languages itself, but obviously any numbers should remain the same as in the original phrase).



Note that it can be used just as well for UTF-8 usages if you want the numbers to remain intact:

*/



function utf8_strrev($str, $reverse_numbers) {

  preg_match_all('/./us', $str, $ar);

  if ($reverse_numbers)

    return join('',array_reverse($ar[0]));

  else {

      $temp = array();

      foreach ($ar[0] as $value) {

         if (is_numeric($value) && !empty($temp[0]) && is_numeric($temp[0])) {

            foreach ($temp as $key => $value2) {

               if (is_numeric($value2))

                 $pos = ($key + 1);

               else

                  break;

            }

            $temp2 = array_splice($temp, $pos);

            $temp = array_merge($temp, array($value), $temp2);

         } else

            array_unshift($temp, $value);

      }

      return implode('', $temp);

// "It says this site is copyrighted just from 2001" (in Hebrew)

// Reverse everything

$str_blind_reverse = utf8_strrev($str, true);

// Reverse everything but don't change the year 2001 to 1002...

$str_logical_reverse = utf8_strrev($str, false);

This function support utf-8 encoding



function utf8_strrev($str){

    preg_match_all('/./us', $str, $ar);

Just a correction to the previous commenter. In ISO 8859-15, the Euro is 0xA4 (164 decimal). It is a 1 byte character.

I will make Screend at hf dot webex dot com's comment more clear and understandable.



strrev only works for singlebyte character-sets. Multibytes charactersets are not compatibles with strrev.



US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1 are compatible with strrev, however BIG5, SJIS, UTF-8 aren't.



Despite what you can think, ISO-8859-15 *is* multibyte (the euro symbol -  - is coded on two bytes).



There's no mb_strrev function in PHP, so you can't strrev() a multibyte string. Try to convert it to something else with iconv() if it can be represented in a singlebyte character set.

strrev() can be very useful in cases where it makes more sense to do something from the end of a string rather than the beginning (well duh!) such as apply certain regular expressions. Here's a small function to add commas to numbers that works in such a way.



<?php

echo commafy("1500000.1254"); // prints 1,500,000.1254



function commafy($_) {

        return strrev( (string)preg_replace( '/(\d{3})(?=\d)(?!\d*\.)/', '$1,' , strrev( $_ ) ) );

}

?>



I originally wrote it in Perl, does it show? ;=)

this function can only reverse the 1-byte words,like english,it seems,using

<?php

$str=strrev("");

echo $str;

?>

do not get a right result.

but,you can change 2-bytes characters into a ASCLL,the converse it.
