Hello,
In PHP ucfirst() function make a string's first character uppercase. But
ralph smith have two words respectivetely ralph and smith. For this reason,
if you call the ucfirst("ralph smith") function, you cannot see the Ralph
Smith. You see the Ralph smith. If you want to see Ralph Smith string, you
should use explode() function. With this functions, you returns an array of
strings, each of which is a substring of string formed by splitting it on
boundaries formed by the string delimiter.In the ralph smith delimeter
characeter is blank line. You can use like a following examples in your
code:)
<?php
$yourname = "ralph smith";
$name = explode (" ", $yourname);
$yournewname = ucfirst( $name[0] ) . " " . ucfirst ( $name[1] );
echo ( $yournewname );
?>
