How to make first letter of a word capital?

Question

I have a word default and I want a php function to make only first letter capital. Can we do that. Please help me out as I am very new to php coding.

Solution 1

You may want to use ucfirst().

For multibyte strings, please see this snippet.

Solution 2

ucfirst capitalizes the first letter in a string.

ucwords capitalizes every word in a string.

Solution 3

Hello Geeta you can simply use ucwords() php function to make every first letter of your word Upper Cased!

Hope this would help!

Solution 4

I think that http://se2.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php is the best function here :)

Solution 5

This is the code you need:

<?php

$string = 'stackoverflow';
$string = ucfirst($string);
echo $string;

?>

Thanks fabrik! This worked in first place and I think I will not be a beginner for any longer! Thanks again!

Well, actually this answer it's not so good. Why use ucwords() when you only need ucfirst(). Fabrik's answer is right on.

Ok. As you say Bogdan Constantinescu.
