Since his string contains more than one sentence he needs to be able to capitalize the first letter of each sentence. I'm thinking something like: 1. strtolower() the string 2. explode() on the period 3. Loop through the resulting array a. trim() whitespace on each element b. ucfirst() on each element of the array c. Concatenate the string back together, putting a period and a space at the end of each element. That's the long way. Anyone know the shortcut! <grin> -- Leif (TB lists moderator and fellow end user).
