Heres a small function I wrote to stop people from submitting data that is ALL IN CAPS SO THEY CAN GET MORE ATTENTION THAT THE REST OF THE USER SUBMITTED DATA on my website :) If you can make it better, by all means do so. This function splits up words delimited by a space, and makes only the first letter of each word capitalized. You can easily modify it so it's only the very first word of the string. I've also added some exceptions so you don't make things like roman numerals look like "Iii" or "Xcmii" or something. function RemoveShouting($string) { $lower_exceptions = array( "to" => "1", "a" => "1", "the" => "1", "of" => "1" ); $higher_exceptions = array( "I" => "1", "II" => "1", "III" => "1", "IV" => "1", "V" => "1", "VI" => "1", "VII" => "1", "VIII" => "1", "XI" => "1", "X" => "1" ); $words = split(" ", $string); $newwords = array(); foreach ($words as $word) { if (!$higher_exceptions[$word]) $word = strtolower($word); if (!$lower_exceptions[$word]) $word[0] = strtoupper($word[0]); array_push($newwords, $word); } return join(" ", $newwords); } BK -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.strtolower.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+28660 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+28660 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+28660
