[TYPO3-core] RFC: Fix Bug 6428 - strtoupper doesn't work with turkish i

[Helmut Hummel]

Hi there,

two problems are discussed in this thread.

One is, how to fix indexed_search for turkish language and
the other one how to deal with lowercase markers in templates in general.

This concerns the second problem and should be moved to a seperate
thread for clearification.

To the first problem (what this RFC is all about):

I think Steffens patch is almost a nobrainer, since it does not make any
sense to write $tmplContent['title'] in source, just to use the (more or
less) "buggy" strtoupper function to make the array index uppercase
afterwards.

(Perhaps Steffen should have been written that he wants to change this,
because of a better performance for indexed_search. I guess this patch
already whould have been committed, if he had done so)
