<?php 
$titlestring = $_GET['title'];
$titlestring = str_replace ("-", " ", $mod1);
$modtitle = ucwords($mod1);
echo($modtitle);
?>

 

 

I can't get it to work, I want the string  "this-is-so-lame" to "This Is So Lame", but the script above doesn't work, could someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

    $sentences = preg_split('/([.?!]+)/', $string, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY|PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
    $new_string = '';
    foreach ($sentences as $key => $sentence) {
        $new_string .= ($key & 1) == 0?
            ucfirst(strtolower(trim($sentence))) :
            $sentence.' ';
    }
    return trim($new_string);
}

print sentence_case('HMM. WOW! WHAT?');

// Outputs: "Hmm. Wow! What?"
?> [/code]

shouldnt it be....

<?php 
$titlestring = $_GET['title'];
$titlestring = str_replace ("-", " ", $titlestring);
$modtitle = ucwords($titlestring);
echo($modtitle);
?>

 

i dont see where $mod1 is defines...so im assuming your tryign to modify $titlestring....

Yeah, I just got it at the end:

 

<?php 
$titlestring = $_GET['title'];
$titlestring = str_replace ("-", " ", $titlestring);
$titlestring = ucwords($titlestring); 
echo($titlestring);
?>

 

Thanks for the help everyone
