This may be less than useful to many of you, but- being a bit of a perfectionist, I like to make
sure that web pages always display according to grammatical rules. Incorrect use of the posessive
apostrophe seems to run rampant on the web, so you can use this to correct for it (say, when pulling
an employee name from a database).
if (strpos(strrev($firstName), "s")==0 || strpos(strrev($firstName), "x")==0){
$firstNamePosessive = $firstName . "'";
}else{
$firstNamePosessive = $firstName . "'s";
}
echo $firstNamePosessive . " PHP code.";
//returns "John's PHP code."
//or, if the name ends in x or s,
//returns "Charles' PHP code."
