Easiest work-around I've found for <5.3:
<?php
$string = "CamelCase"
$string{0} = strtolower($string{0})
echo $string; // outputs camelCase
?>
(PHP 5 >= 5.3.0, PHP 7, PHP 8)
lcfirst — Pasa a minúscula el primer caracter de un string
Devuelve un string con el primer caracter de
str
en minúscula si ese caracter es
alfabético.
Tener en cuenta que 'alfabético' está determinado por la configuración regional actual. Por ejemplo, en la configuración regional por defecto "C" caracteres como la a con diéresis (ä) no serán convertidos.
str
El string de entrada.
Devuelve el string resultante.
Ejemplo #1 Ejemplo de lcfirst()
<?php
$foo = 'HelloWorld';
$foo = lcfirst($foo); // helloWorld
$bar = 'HELLO WORLD!';
$bar = lcfirst($bar); // hELLO WORLD!
$bar = lcfirst(strtoupper($bar)); // hELLO WORLD!
?>

In some cases maybe more useful?
$lower = strtolower( substr($upper,0,1) ) . substr($upper,1);
A slight modification from Northie's post here ( http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php#68443), where lcfirst may not exist in your PHP build:
<?php
if(false === function_exists('lcfirst'))
{
/**
* Make a string's first character lowercase
*
* @param string $str
* @return string the resulting string.
*/
function lcfirst( $str ) {
$str[0] = strtolower($str[0]);
return (string)$str;
}
}
/* Tests */
echo var_dump(lcFirst(NULL)).'<br />'; /* string(0) "" */
echo var_dump(lcFirst('')) .'<br />'; /* string(0) "" */
echo var_dump(lcFirst('S')) .'<br />'; /* string(1) "S" */
echo var_dump(lcFirst('É')) .'<br />'; /* string(0) "�" */
echo var_dump(lcFirst('Hello World!!!')); /* string(14) "hello World!!!" */
As of PHP release 6 direct reference modification is not permitted any more.
Reference modification is the process of manipulating characters within a string by means of the instruction such as:
$str[0] in the code line: $str[0] = strtolower($str[0]);
For this reason I have recoded the lcfirst function (on function_exists('lcfirst') === false) as follows:
<?php
if ( false === function_exists('lcfirst') ):
function lcfirst( $str )
{ return (string)(strtolower(substr($str,0,1)).substr($str,1));}
endif;
?>
Remarks:
Also notice that I have used the more modern scope delimeters (if:-endif;) and I have also removed the unnecessary intermediate result. That is, the manipulation is returned directly.
