Echo - Capitalize First Letter in name

[markvaughn2006]

I've found that most people when registering their username use all lowercase letters, is there a way that if someone were to enter their username as - markvaughn2006 it would echo something like "Welcome Markvaughn2006" ? I know how to add the Welcome and the username, just wondering if there is a way to capitalize the first letter. Thanks you guys are the best.

Yep. ucwords(). It'll do exactly what you want.

if its ONLY the first letter you should use ucfirst()

 

ucfirst(strtolower("MADTECHIE"));

 

also note the Topic Solved button bottom left

Note that mattal999's suggestion will capitalize the first letter of every word in the string.

 

i.e.

 

$s="maq is the shiz"; 
echo ucwords($s);

 

output

 

Maq Is The Shiz
