I needed a simple code to tidy up a string. It simply had to upper-case letters after dot. Simple
code to do so:
<?php
$string = preg_replace_callback(
'|(?:\.)(?:\s*)(\w{1})|Ui',
create_function('$matches', 'return ". ".strtoupper($matches[1]);'),
ucfirst($string)
);
?>
<?php
$string = 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. sed ullamcorper diam eu
lorem varius nec porta elit iaculis.';
echo preg_replace_callback(
'|(?:\.)(?:\s*)(\w{1})|Ui',
create_function('$matches', 'return ". ".strtoupper($matches[1]);'),
ucfirst($string)
);
?>
Will output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ullamcorper diam eu lorem
varius nec porta elit iaculis.
<?php
$string = 'lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. sed
ullamcorper diam eu lorem varius nec porta elit iaculis.';
echo preg_replace_callback(
'|(?:\.)(?:\s*)(\w{1})|Ui',
create_function('$matches', 'return ". ".strtoupper($matches[1]);'),
ucfirst($string)
);
?>
Will output: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Sed ullamcorper diam eu lorem
varius nec porta elit iaculis.
Nothing fancy, but useful :)

Nothing fancy, but useful :) Is there any better solution?
