How to uppercase first letter after a hyphen, ie Adam Smith-Jones

Question

I\'m looking for a way to uppercase the first letter/s of a string, including where the names are joined by a hyphen, such as adam smith-jones needs to be Adam Smith-Jones.

Answer 1

You can us 'ucwords' to capitalize all words at once, and 'implode' and 'explode' together, like this:

ucwords(implode(" ", explode("_", "my_concatinated_word_string")));

Answer 2

Here is a simple function that can convert all the words in a string to title case:

function toTitleCase($string) {
    return preg_replace_callback('/\w+/', function ($match) {
        return ucfirst(strtolower($match[0]));
    }, $string);
}

Answer 3

/**
* Uppercase words including after a hyphen
*
* @param string $text lower-case text
* @return string Upper-Case text
*/
function uc_hyphenated_words($text)
{
    return str_replace("- ","-",ucwords(str_replace("-","- ",$text)));
}
