I would like to write a filter that takes the text "smith" or "SMith" and returns "Smith"; same for "ralph smith". Is the a good source on using filters this way?

It may not be the most efficient way of accomplishing this, but you could do something like: $string = 'SMith' $fixedString = ucwords( strtolower( $string )); thnx, Chris

Thank you! I did not know about the ucwords() functions, and it does not need the string set to lower case. Now to create a filter that returns only numbers (e.g. "a1234z" -> "1234") and the same for non-numbers. Many thanks... Todd
