Note Submitter: viceamarian at gmail dot com ---- A better variant of <b>agash at freemail dot hu</b>'s titleCase function. Works better when you have multiple types of delimiters in a string (eg.: MY STREET I-VIII). function titleCase($string, $exceptions_lower = array("de", "pe", "cu", "la", "si", "nr"), $exceptions_upper = array("I", "II", "III", "IV", "V", "VI", "VII", "VIII", "IX", "X")) { /* * Exceptions in lower case are words you don't want converted * Exceptions all in upper case are any words you don't want converted to title case * but should be converted to upper case, e.g.: * king henry viii or king henry Viii should be King Henry VIII */ // Remove white spaces from the begining and from the end of text $string = trim($string); // First a simple conversion $string = strtolower($string); $string = ucwords($string); // Find words only preg_match_all("/[a-zA-Z0-9]+/", $string, $match); $words = $match[0]; foreach ($words as $ii=>$vv){ if (in_array(strtolower($vv), $exceptions_lower)){ // Check exceptions list for any words that should be in lower case $new_word = strtolower($vv); } elseif (in_array(strtoupper($vv), $exceptions_upper)){ // Check exceptions list for any words that should be in upper case $new_word = strtoupper($vv); } else { // Convert to uppercase $new_word = ucfirst($vv); } $string = str_replace($vv, $new_word, $string); } return $string; }
