note 60620 added to function.ucfirst

plemieux' function did not work for me without passing the encoding to every single mb function (despite ini_set('default_charset', 'utf-8') at the top of the script). This is the example that works in my application (PHP 4.3): <?php function my_mb_ucfirst($str, $e='utf-8') { $fc = mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($str, 0, 1, $e), $e); return $fc.mb_substr($str, 1, mb_strlen($str, $e), $e); } ?> ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+60620 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+60620&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+60620&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
