#21626 [NEW]: ucwords() fails to capitalize words in parenthesis

From: ieure@debian.org Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: ucwords() fails to capitalize words in parenthesis When using ucwords() on a string which contains words in parenthesis, the first word in the parenthesis is not capitalized. Here's a quick example, pasted from an xterm. -- snip -- ieure!Phaktory:~$ cat ucwords.php #!/usr/bin/php4 -q <?php echo ucwords($_SERVER['argv'][1])."\n"; ?> ieure!Phaktory:~$ ./ucwords.php 'test' Test ieure!Phaktory:~$ ./ucwords.php 'test test' Test Test ieure!Phaktory:~$ ./ucwords.php 'test test (test)' Test Test (test) ieure!Phaktory:~$ ./ucwords.php 'test test (test test)' Test Test (test Test) ieure!Phaktory:~$ ./ucwords.php 'test test ( test test)' Test Test ( Test Test) ieure!Phaktory:~$ -- snip -- As you can see, ucwords() won't capitalize the first 'test' when there is no whitespace between the open-parenthesis and the first letter. Affects both CGI and Apache module versions. Here's the script I used to test the apache module: <?php echo ucwords($_GET['string']); ?> -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21626&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21626&r=gnused
