That's because there are no solutions. There are "options" but not solutions. 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... Let us know when you're done! :) Also, there's no difference between MCDONALD and mcdonald if you convert everything to lower (or upper) case first.
