Simple PHP String Operation

[eggerda]

Hi, I'm brand new to PHP.

 

I've got a variable called "$name" and it contains a persons first name and last name.

 

All I want is the first name of the person with the first letter capitalized.

 

How do I do that?

 

Thanks,

 

Dan

<?php
// Our name
$name = "john Doe";

// Seperate the name at the space, this will
// give us an array with 2 values
$parts = explode($name);

// ucfirst makes the first character uppercase
echo ucfirst($parts[0]);
?>

<?php
// Our name
$name = "john Doe";

// Seperate the name at the space, this will
// give us an array with 2 values
$parts = explode($name);

// ucfirst makes the first character uppercase
echo ucfirst($parts[0]);
?>

 

Should be:

 

<?php
// Our name
$name = "john Doe";

// Seperate the name at the space, this will
// give us an array with 2 values
$parts = explode(" ", $name);

// ucfirst makes the first character uppercase
echo ucfirst($parts[0]);
?>
