HI Chris,
Here is one option. Make a long list (array) of search/replace pairs and loop through your text replacing as necessary. 'mcdonald' => 'McDonald' 'mcdowell' => 'McDowell' 'o\'reilly' => 'O\'Reilly' 'de la rosa' => 'De La Rosa' etc ad nauseum...
I think the better solution would be some pregs that would go through and look for "mc" then have it turn the name into "Mc" then Capitalize the next letter. [same thing for "mac"] Then Do the same thing with "O'Henry" it would look for "o\' " then it would turn it into "O' " and capitalize the "H".
Let us know when you're done! :)
This project shouldn't be that hard as there are probably only 10 to 15 rules for names.
