Note Submitter: ---- Beware of language when using this function to collate personal names! This may not work with some languages and this depends on the current locale! So it's best to simply use strtoupper() or strtolower(strtoupper()) to collate names for searches in a database. Avoid using strtolower() directly, as it won't collate some characters like the german 'ß' into 'ss'. Capitalizing names is very language dependant: don't do it on address fields such as city names. Prefer uppercasing, or keep the original case if the string must be displayed to a user!
