PHP FUNCTION TO capitalize VARs

[Orionsbelter]

Is there a function to capitalize a variable?

 

such as;

<?php

$username= capitalize($_POST['username']);

?>
I do understand that i can capitalize the word in CSS however i need this to be capitalize before it goes into the database and not capitalize the string form the database. 

Thanks for all your help

Try ucfirst or ucwords, depending on what your needs are.

 

And, like always, when in doubt, consult the manual: http://www.php.net/quickref.php

Thought you wanted it all capital, you didn't really clarify too well. Oh well.
