Capitalize first letter of each word in a string

[phpshift]

I wrote a simple function called "ucallfirst()" in order to capitalize the first letter of each word in a string. Anyway, here it is:

function ucallfirst($string)
{
$string=explode(" ",$string);
$i=0;
 while($i<count($string))
 {$string[$i]=ucfirst($string[$i]);
 $i++;}
return implode(" ",$string);
}

And it's as simple as that. :)

doesn't ucwords [ca3.php.net] do that?

Not in versions earlier than 4.0. Odds are almost infinitely slim you'll have that problem though. I just wrote it because I saw an old post earlier asking about this and there was no solution to that. I suppose the makers of PHP got to it. :D

There are a couple other alternate solutions posted at the ucwords documentation in the user-contributed notes. Mostly for languages other than english, though.

Thanks for your solution, phpshift, and Welcome to WebmasterWorld! :)

You could use CSS to do it too.
