There is strtolower but I never rely on it for strings with non-ASCII
characters with accents and cedillas. The currently set locale many not be
appropriate. I have a code to handle those access either to map to lower
or upper case or even strip accents (like á becomes a and ç becomes c).

If you are only concerned with English names with only ASCII characters
strtolower is just fine.

PHP will set each variable with the respective input value.
