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.
Take Care,
