I did the same thing as Catalin, but for French names. Here's what I'm doing : For each word (not considering the single-quote as a word boundary character) : - Put the word in lower case - If the word is "de", return, else, put the first letter in upper-case - See if the second character of the word is a single-quote - Yes ? Put the next char in upper case - And if the char before the single quote is D, put it back to lower case (-> d) This complies with the French rules for capitalization in names. Sample results : -d'Afoo Bar -de Foo Bar -O'Foo Bar -Foo'bar function my_ucwords($s) { $s = preg_replace_callback("/(\b[\w|']+\b)/s", fixcase_callback, $s); return $s; } function fixcase_callback($word) { $word = $word[1]; $word = strtolower($word); if($word == "de") return $word; $word = ucfirst($word); if(substr($word,1,1) == "'") { if(substr($word,0,1) == "D") { $word = strtolower($word); } $next = substr($word,2,1); $next = strtoupper($next); $word = substr_replace($word, $next, 2, 1); } return $word; } ---- Server IP: 89.31.146.176 Probable Submitter: 82.123.156.114 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/90521 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/90521 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/90521 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
