#42599 [Opn]: ucwords functionality change

ID: 42599 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported By: phpbugs at add dot za dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: n/a PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Simple patch: http://ecl.zoone.com.br/etc/patches/ucwords.patch phpt: http://ecl.zoone.com.br/etc/patches/ucwords.phpt Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-09-08 20:30:31] phpbugs at add dot za dot net Description: ------------ In the manual it is stated that a ucwords will uppercase any words that are preceded by a space. Maybe this should be changed to include any words that are preceded by a bracket as well, such as "... (words inside)". I know that one can use mb_convert_case to do this, but one might argue that ucwords implies this functionality, and it could come to be expected from it (until you read the manual page). Reproduce code: --------------- <? print ucwords("outside of (inside of)"); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Outside Of (Inside Of) Actual result: -------------- Outside Of (inside Of) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=42599&edit=1
