Force Uppercase..

[rjonesX]

In Perl you can force the next letter to be printed uppercase in a string using the \u command. Any idea if this can be accomplished in PHP?

 

[sleipnir214]

That obscure functionality of the print statement is not implemented in PHP.

PHP does, however, have a wealth of fuctions for making all or part of a string uppercase: strtoupper(), ucfirst() and ucwords().

For the only possible use I can imagine for the "\u" operator, ucfirst() might be the first function to look at.

PERFECT!

This is very useful for working with xml and using node names in lowercase but wanting them to print out with the correct capitalization.

Thanks so much!
