Title Tag Problem

[mkingsle]

Hi All:
I have the following code in a file to populate the title for each web page:

<?php
//this part remains the same
$title = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '.php');
$title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title);

//below are changes
$title = strtolower($title);
$titleArr = explode(" ", $title); //creating an array of words from $title
$strToCaps= array("II", "php", "html"); //words to strtoupper()

//running strtoupper() with all words found in $strToCaps and ucwords() for all others
foreach(array_keys($titleArr) as $key){
if(in_array($titleArr[$key], $strToCaps)){
$titleArr[$key] = strtoupper($titleArr[$key]);
}
else{
$titleArr[$key] = ucwords($titleArr[$key]);
}
}

//reforming the string
$newTitle = implode(" ", $titleArr);

?>

My issue is that I have a lot of webpages with the word "and" in them, and with the above code, it capitalizes each word, including "and". Is there a piece of code that I can put in the above file to segregate the word "and" to make it lowercase.

Thanks,

Michael

I am not sure if this will work or not, its just what popped into my head, but couldn't you try a:

$newTitle = str_replace('AND', 'and', $newTitle); 

After reforming the string?

Well, I think I got it figured out, with you help, and adding one piece of code. It might be wrong, but it worked. Let me know if there is an easier way.

<?php
//this part remains the same
$title = basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'], '.php');
$title = str_replace('_', ' ', $title);

//below are changes
$title = strtolower($title);
$titleArr = explode(" ", $title); //creating an array of words from $title
$strToCaps= array("and", "II", "php", "html"); //words to strtoupper() added "and" here to cap it

//running strtoupper() with all words found in $strToCaps and ucwords() for all others
foreach(array_keys($titleArr) as $key){
if(in_array($titleArr[$key], $strToCaps)){
$titleArr[$key] = strtoupper($titleArr[$key]);
}
else{
$titleArr[$key] = ucwords($titleArr[$key]);
}
}

//reforming the string
$newTitle = implode(" ", $titleArr);
$newTitle = str_replace('AND', '&amp;', $newTitle); //added code you mentioned here, changing capped "AND" to the "&" symbol

?>

I thought you had said it was always capped, but yes it is a good idea to insure that is capped if you are going to do the string replace with the ampersand. I'm glad to have been of assistance.
