note 86459 modified in function.ucwords by danbrown

I have looked for a work-around that would upper-case letter after an ' too. For example, ucword("o'lunney's"); would output "O'lunney's" and I wanted it to output "O'Lunney's". Here is my function: <?php function my_ucwords($string) { $string = ucwords(strtolower($string)); $string = preg_replace_callback("/( [ a-zA-Z]{1}')([a-zA-Z0-9]{1})/s",create_function('$matches','return $matches[1].strtoupper($matches[2]);'),$string); return $string; } ?> Hope it helps someone. --was-- I have looked for a work-around that would upper-case letter after an ' too.
