IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum — Get the property value for a given value name

### Description

public static IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum(int `$property`, string `$name`): int

Returns the property value integer for a given value name, as specified in the Unicode database file PropertyValueAliases.txt. Short, long, and any other variants are recognized.

> Note:

> Some of the names in PropertyValueAliases.txt will only be recognized with `IntlChar::PROPERTY_GENERAL_CATEGORY_MASK`, not `IntlChar::PROPERTY_GENERAL_CATEGORY`. These include:

> - "C" / "Other"
> - "L" / "Letter"
> - "LC" / "Cased_Letter"
> - "M" / "Mark"
> - "N" / "Number"
> - "P" / "Punctuation"
> - "S" / "Symbol"
> - "Z" / "Separator"

### Parameters

`property`

  The Unicode property to lookup (see the `IntlChar::PROPERTY_*` constants).

  If out of range, or this method doesn't work with the given value, `IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE` is returned.

`name`

  The value name to be matched. The name is compared using "loose matching" as described in PropertyValueAliases.txt.

### Return Values

Returns the corresponding value integer, or `IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE` if the given name does not match any value of the given property, or if the property is invalid.

### Examples

var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BLOCK, 'greek') === IntlChar::BLOCK_CODE_GREEK);
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS, 'RIGHT_TO_LEFT') === IntlChar::CHAR_DIRECTION_RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum(IntlChar::PROPERTY_BIDI_CLASS, 'some made-up string') === IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE);
var_dump(IntlChar::getPropertyValueEnum(123456789, 'RIGHT_TO_LEFT') === IntlChar::PROPERTY_INVALID_CODE);
