Re: [SMARTY] UTF-8 and capitalize issues

Thanks for the tip Messju, though it doesn't seem to be working properly for me... the letter immediately following the accented character is capitalized using the functions below... I also tried a few different methods, but it seems there's *something* wrong here. If I try the mb_convert_case() function to convert to all upper-case: mb_convert_case($string[0],MB_CASE_UPPER,"UTF-8"); all the characters except the accented ones are converted to upper-case. Galápagos -> GALáPAGOS. I also tried the mb_convert_encoding to UTF-8, but to no avail. Does it maybe have something to do with the way I'm entering the characters? On my Mac I type option-e then the vowel (eg, á), but I really doubt that's the problem. (Also recall that my db tables are all utf8_general_ci) Thanks a million!

Hi everyone, I'm applying the capitalize modifier to a particular text variable, which works as expected in most cases. What has recently come up is that non-english characters are throwing a bit of a kink into my plan. For example, Galápagos is coming out as GaláPagos with the capitalize modifier. I looked through the forums and didn't find any solutions that worked, including using the setlocale() PHP function on my page... All my Smarty template pages are set to charset=utf-8 in the headers, and my mysql tables and text fields are utf8_general_ci. So at this point I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should do next. Any ideas?

write and use your own utf-8 aware modifier, like this one: <?php function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize($string, $uc_digits = false) {

    return preg_replace_callback('!\b\w+\b!u', 'smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst', $string);

} function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst($string) {

    return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($string[0], 0, 1)) . mb_substr($string[0], 1);

} ?>
