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 https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=42599&edit=1
