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.
