[mapguide-users] Case insensitive filter with search

[Dave Wilson]

Ideally you have to apply your function to both sides of the expression because the data source you are filtering on may be mixed, lower or uppercase. This was an issue was partially addressed by a couple of FDO fixes if this was an FDO expression. I'm not completely sure it works though as I routed one of the internal defects back. If you are doing this in your own code you can probably make it work.

One way of dealing with it would be to apply the lower() function in PHP
to the $USER_VARIABLE, and use that as the "Left operand".
