[SOLVED] capital letters

[squiblo]

how can i start this with a capital letter when echoed?

echo "$username";

ucfirst for the first letter in the string, or ucwords for the first letter in each word.

 //get data
	   $state = $runrows['state'];
	   $url = $runrows['url'];
                   $username = $runrows['username'];
                   
	   
	   echo "
	   <b>$username</b><br>
	   $state<br>
	   <a href='$url'>View Profile</a><br>
	   ";

 

when i try it just echoes the whole thing out instead of just the username using "ucwords(strtolower"

 //get data
	   $state = $runrows['state'];
	   $url = $runrows['url'];
                   $username = ucwords($runrows['username']);
                   
	   
	   echo "
	   <b>$username</b><br>
	   $state<br>
	   <a href='$url'>View Profile</a><br>
	   ";
