string ucwords ( string str )

Возвращает строку string, в которой первый символ каждого слова переведен в верхний регистр, если этот символ буквенный.

Эта функция считает словами последовательности символов, разделенных пробелом, переводом строки, возвратом каретки, горизонтальной или вертикальной табуляцией.

Пример 1. Пример использования ucwords()

<?php $foo = 'hello world!'; $foo = ucwords($foo); // Hello World! $bar = 'HELLO WORLD!'; $bar = ucwords($bar); // HELLO WORLD! $bar = ucwords(strtolower($bar)); // Hello World! ?>

Замечание: Эта функция безопасна для обработки данных в двоичной форме.

См. также описание функций strtoupper(), strtolower() и ucfirst().

Here is a function to capitalize a last name, accounting for hyphens, apostrophes, "Mc" and "Mac":



<?php

function CapitalizeLastName($name) {

    $name = strtolower($name);

    $name = join("'", array_map('ucwords', explode("'", $name)));

    $name = join("-", array_map('ucwords', explode("-", $name)));

    $name = join("Mac", array_map('ucwords', explode("Mac", $name)));

    $name = join("Mc", array_map('ucwords', explode("Mc", $name)));

    return $name;

}

?>



I speed tested it against functions that used preg_replace() with an "e" modifier, preg_replace_callback(), and a character-by-character parsing.  Unexpectedly, this function using join(), array_map() and explode() was fastest.

To use ucwords with an exception:



<?php

function ucwordss($str, $exceptions) {

$out = "";

foreach (explode(" ", $str) as $word) {

$out .= (!in_array($word, $exceptions)) ? strtoupper($word{0}) . substr($word, 1) . " " : $word . " ";

}

return rtrim($out);

}

?>



For example:



<?php

$string = "my cat is going to the vet";

$ignore = array("is", "to", "the");

echo ucwordss($string, $ignore);

// My Cat is Going to the Vet

?>

ucwords() only excepts whitespace in front of a word, although some chars like '"' or '(' normally have no space between them and the following word:

<?php

$title = 'ELVIS "THE KING" PRESLEY - (LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR';

echo ucwords(strtolower($title));

?>

prints: Elvis "the King" Presley - (let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear



To avoid this i use a small function adding and deleting blanks behind these chars, and using ucwords() in between:



<?php

function my_ucwords($string)

  { 

    $noletters='"([/'; //add more if u need to

    for($i=0; $i<strlen($noletters); $i++)

      $string = str_replace($noletters[$i], $noletters[$i].' ', $string);

    $string=ucwords($string);

    for($i=0; $i<strlen($noletters); $i++)

      $string = str_replace($noletters[$i].' ', $noletters[$i], $string);

    return $string;

  }



$title = 'ELVIS "THE KING" PRESLEY - (LET ME BE YOUR) TEDDY BEAR';

echo my_ucwords(strtolower($title));

?>



prints: Elvis "The King" Presley - (Let Me Be Your) Teddy Bear

To get some sort of title case with lower-case articles, prepositions etc., try something like this (removing the carriage returns in the regular expression):



<?php

    function lower_articles($str) {

        return preg_replace(

            "/(?<=(?<!:|’s)\W)

            (A|An|And|At|For|In|Of|On|Or|The|To|With)

            (?=\W)/e", 

            'strtolower("$1")',

            $str

        );

    }

?>



I added the lookbehind (?<!:|’s) because I use this for film titles, where words following those terms should be capitalised (e.g. Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, American Pie Presents: The Naked Mile).

A very easy way to convert to title case:



function titleCase($string)

     {

     return ucwords(strtolower($string));

     }



$myString = "SOME TEXT";



echo titleCase($myString);



//will print, "My Text"

I have rewritten a UCSMART function adding a feature to translate special ASCII char (windows occidental ascii charset):



You can edit/add/delete char by use the first two string (be carefull to preserve the order of the string).



Enjoy!
