note 106477 added to function.ucwords

Recently i got a request from a client to make the first letter of any word in capital even they are separated by hyphen. Eg : donzé pierre-yves => Donzé Pierre-Yves joye-cagnard frédéric => Joye-Cagnard Frédéric ucwords("donzé pierre-yves") can make it display Donzé Pierre-yves but actually i need even the first letter of the second word to be in capital. So in order to get this i have just written a function below and it works fine. But i hope there would be a better and easier way to do this if so kindly share. <?php $str = "donzé pierre-yves"; echo ucwordsHyphen($str); /*returns Donzé Pierre-Yves*/ function ucwordsHyphen($str){ $converted_str = ""; $str_array = explode(" ",$str); foreach($str_array as $key=>$value): if(strpos($value, '-')): $value = str_replace("-", " ", $value); $value = ucwords(strtolower($value)); $value = str_replace(" ", "-", $value); else: $value = ucwords(strtolower($value)); endif; $converted_str .= " ".$value; endforeach; return $converted_str; } ?> Thanks.
