note 30982 added to function.ucwords

Here's my swing on things function limited_ucfirst($text, $min_word_len = 4, $always_cap_first = true, $exclude = Array("of","a","the ","and","an", "or","nor","but","is", "if","then","else","when","up", "at","from","by","on", "off","for","in","out","over", "to","into", "with")) { // Allows for the specification of the minimum length // of characters each word must be in order to be capitalized // Make sure words following punctuation are capitalized $text = str_replace( Array("(", "-", ".", "?", ",",":","[",";","!"), Array("( ", "- ", ". ", "? ", ", ",": ","[ ","; ","! "), $text); $words = explode (" ", strtolower($text)); $count = count($words); $num = 0; while ($num < $count) { if (strlen($words[$num]) >= $min_word_len && array_search($words[$num], $exclude) === false) $words[$num] = ucfirst($words[$num]); $num++; } $text = implode(" ", $words); $text = str_replace( Array("( ", "- ", ". ", "? ", ", ",": ","[ ","; ","! "), Array("(", "-", ".", "?", ",",":","[",";","!"), $text); // Always capitalize first char if cap_first is true if ($always_cap_first) { if (ctype_alpha($text[0]) && ord($text[0]) <= ord("z") && ord($text[0]) > ord("Z")) $text[0] = chr(ord($text[0]) - 32); } return $text; } Thanks to mgm and un-thesis for their last two posts. It was helpful in fine tuning this funcion. -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+30982 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+30982 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+30982
