public static function UcAddress::makeCanonical in Ubercart 7.3

Utility function to simplify comparison of address properties.

For the purpose of this function, the canonical form is stripped of all whitespace and has been converted to upper case. This ensures that we don't get false inequalities when comparing address properties that a human would consider identical, but may be capitalized differently or have different whitespace.

Parameters

$string: String to make canonical.

Return value

Canonical form of input string.
