Removing Lower Case and replacing with Upper Case

We users place adverts they sometimes add with all lower or worst all upper case

Need a piece of code like as a starting point

$sitetitle = ereg_replace("([A-Z]+) ¦ ([a-z]+) ¦ ([0-9]+)", "", $sitetitle);

Sitetitle reads

for sale or FOR SALE

Need to have

For Sale


Any ideas please?

 

Try strtoupper. Ex:

<?php
$str = "for sale";
$str = strtoupper($str);
echo $str; // Prints FOR SALE
?>

 

Good start but

Sitetitle reads

for sale or FOR SALE

Need

For sale

Or

For Sale

 

Oops sorry, I misread your post. But the answer is still prety easy. You want to use strtolower() on the string to convert it to all lower case, then you can use ucwords() on it.

$str = ucwords(strtolower($str));

You may need some variation of that for your particular case but that should give you the right direction.

EDIT: Forgot to mention in case it wasn't obvious - the ucwords() function capitalizes the first letter of each word in a strong. So what we're doing here is converting the string (no matter if it already is lower case) to all lower case, then capitalizing the first letter of each word in the string.

 

100% corect awesome!!!!


$str = ucwords(strtolower($str)); worked a treat.


Next issue is in a form.

We have a lot of user just copy and paste with out a carriage return.

This makes it look ugly.

How can we automatically achieve a prettier look

We want to have

We have a function that starts a new line if a carriage return is entered

Any ideas to start us off with?

Also is there a easy well to introduce a spell checker into a form?
