Note Submitter: pjoe444 at yahoo dot com ---- (I see the entry prior to the 'added note' below never seems to have got posted: anyway I've amended it slightly here) Why no LCFIRST() ??? Given the handy ucfirst() function that turns the first letter of a string to uppercase, it seems a pity there's not the reverse also: an "lcfirst()" turning the first letter to lowercase. After all there are both strtoupper() and strtolower() functions. String manipulations splitting sentences can find good use for both ucfirst() and lcfirst() functions ( use isn't confined to sentences, eg Mysql systems of related large and small tables with corresponding uppercase/lowercase first letter variations, etc)
