IntlChar::getPropertyName
Get the Unicode name for a property
Description
public static stringfalse IntlChar::getPropertyName(int $property, int $type = IntlChar::LONG_PROPERTY_NAME)
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 complements IntlChar::getPropertyEnum.
Parameters
-
property
-
The Unicode property to lookup (see the IntlChar::PROPERTY_* constants).
IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE should not be used.
Also, if property is out of range, false is returned.
-
type
-
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 type
is out of range.
If a given type returns false, then all larger values of
type 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)
