For western accentuated letters: You can use a simple preg_replace expression to replace ucwords if you have only the ascii characters converted. <?php function ucwordsw($value) { return preg_replace('/(^|[^A-Za-z0-9_\xC0-\xFF])([a-z\xE0-\xFF])/e', '"$1".chr(ord("$2")-32)', $value); } ?> - Redefinition of '\w' (a word character) : [A-Za-z0-9_\xC0-\xFF] includes the western accentuated letters, lower or upper case. - Redefinition of '\W' (a non word character) : ^|[^A-Za-z0-9_\xC0-\xFF] -> either the beginning (^) of the searched string or any non ([^...]} newly defined 'word' character So any lower case letter ($2), - accentuated ([\xE0-\xFF]) or not ([a-z]), - and following a non word character ($1) will be uppercased (chr(ord('...')-32) (took that bit from a post from Ansis [ataols in latnet point lv] (27-Jan-2004 11:40) on the strtoupper function page http://www.php.net/manual/fr/function.strtoupper.php). ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+51137 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51137&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51137&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51137&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51137&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+51137&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+51137&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
