note 16962 modified in function.ucfirst by goba

Note that if you are using this function to embellish the display of Dutch or Spanish text, ucfirst will not recognise your "ij"s (Dutch) or "ll"s (Spanish), which in their respective languages need to be capitalised both when they go on the beginning of a word. Use function ucfirst_beter($streng) { return $streng=(substr(strtolower($streng),0,2)=="ij")?(strtoupper(substr($streng,0, 2)).substr($streng,2,(strlen($streng)-2))):(ucfirst($streng)); } for Dutch text, or function ucfirst_mejor($cuerda) { return $cuerda=(substr(strtolower($cuerda),0,2)=="ll")?(strtoupper(substr($cuerda,0, 2)).substr($cuerda,2,(strlen($cuerda)-2))):(ucfirst($cuerda)); } for Spanish text cheers, Bert a.k.a.
