[PHP] ucwords()?

2002-09-11 Thread Tommi Virtanen 

Hi!

I'll try to convert field first char to upper by using ucwords(). Well,
this doesn't
seem to work correct. 

Well maybe error came, because that characteres are not standard (they
are special characterers, finnish language). 

Example:

$work_text = perhepäivähoitaja;

$work_text = ucwords (strtolower ($work_text);

print $work_name - PerhepäIväHoitaja). Every char after finnish-ä is
upper.


How I can correct this error??

I can't say correct answer to this, but want also notify that
strtoupper() -function doesn't affect to those special charters å, ä and ö
that are very common in Finnish language.

Here is a quick replacement script* for ucwords() that can be made to handle 
accented characters or interesting casing rules. It is a bit uppercase happy 
- - uppercasing any letter that comes after a non-letter character.

*(Taken from the PHP Functions Essential Reference 
(http://fooassociates.com/phpfer/))

?php
function custom_ucwords($map, $string) {
   // A state variable that tracks if we are inside
   // or outside a block of word characters
   $inside_word = TRUE;

   for ($index = 0; $index  strlen($string); ++$index) {

  // If the current character is a key for the map array,
  // we know that the current character is a word character
  $is_chr = isset($map[$string[$index]]);

  /* If the last character was not a word character
   * but the current character is, convert the
   * current character to uppercase
  */
  if (! $inside_word  $is_chr) {
  $string[$index] = $map[$string[$index]];
  }

  // Track whether this character is a word or a non-word character
  // for the next iteration of the loop
  $inside_word = $is_chr;
   }

   return $string;
}

// A map for English characters
$map = array(
   'a' = 'A', 'b' = 'B', 'c' = 'C', 'd' = 'D',
   'e' = 'E', 'f' = 'F', 'g' = 'G', 'h' = 'H',
   'i' = 'I', 'j' = 'J', 'k' = 'K', 'l' = 'L',
   'm' = 'M', 'n' = 'N', 'o' = 'O', 'p' = 'P',
   'q' = 'Q', 'r' = 'R', 's' = 'S', 't' = 'T',
   'u' = 'U', 'v' = 'V', 'w' = 'W', 'x' = 'X',
   'y' = 'Y', 'z' = 'Z'
);

$string = _JABBERWOCKY_
and, has thou slain the jabberwock?br /
come to my arms, my beamish boy!br /
o frabjous day! callooh! callay!br /
he chortled in his joy.br /
_JABBERWOCKY_;

echo custom_ucwords($map, $string);

Hi All,

 I am trying to figure out how to use ucwords here :
if (submit)

  mysql_select_db($dbname,$db);
  ucwords($sql)Is this correct ?
  $sql = INSERT INTO $prefix;
  $sql .= (first, last, email, company, address, city, state, zip,
phone, fax, mobile, comments);
  $sql .= VALUES;
  $sql .= ('$first', '$last', '$email', '$company', '$address',

Currently, you are ucwords-ing an empty string.  That being said, I'm
not sure what you are trying to do anyway. ucwords() upper-cases the first letter of 
words in a string.
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php)

such as:

$string = this is a test;
$newstring = ucwords($string);
echo $newstring // This Is A Test

You pass a string to the function and it returns a string with each word
starting with an uppercase.

$string = hello world;

$new_string = ucwords($string);

echo $new_string; // Displays 'Hello World'

RE: [PHP] ucwords Except 'The' 'And' etc?

2001-08-14 Thread Steve Edberg 

I know, I know, I have a lot of work to do...I shouldn't be doing 
this. I did get to play with PCRE regexps here, though...lotsa cool 
features over eregs!. Anyway, here's a *** NEW!!! IMPROVED!!! *** 
version of smart_ucwords(), that's probably way too much overkill. I 
did some quick tests, seems to work. Beware of email-induced 
line-wrapping, particularly in the comment black  quoted strings:

?php

function smart_ucwords($String, $ForceCase=1, $CapitalizeTrailing=1) {


#
#  A more sophisticated approach to title-casing.
#
## PARAMETERS 
##
#
#  $String  string   Input string.
#  $ForceCase   0|1  If true, will force title case (only 
first letter
#capitalized, no matter what case the 
string is in.
#  $CaptializeTrailing  0|1  If true, will capitalize a normally-excepted
#word if it is the last word in the 
string. So, a
#string like 'Shot In the Dark, A' 
works properly.
#
## USAGE NOTES 
#
#
#  The Exception List words should be in the case you desire; 
normally this will
#  be lowercase.
#
#  The Invariant List contains words and titles (eg; NASA, MySQL, PostGreSQL,
#  eBusiness) whose capitalization should be fixed, no matter what.
#
#  If one of these arrays is not to be used, simply set it to array().
#
## MODIFICATION HISTORY 

#
#  14 august 2001: S. Edberg, UCDavis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
#  Original
#


$EXCEPTION_LIST = array(
   'a', 'an', 'and', 'at', 'but', 'for', 'nor', 'or', 'some', 
'the', 'to', 'with'
);
   
$INVARIANT_LIST = array(
   'NASA', 'MySQL', 'PostGreSQL', 'eBusiness'
);
   
#  First, strip  save leading  trailing whitespace

preg_match(
   '/^(\s*?)(.*)(\s*)$/U',
   ($ForceCase ? strtolower($String) : $String),
   $StringParts
);

#  Replace exception words

$String = ucwords($StringParts[2].($CapitalizeTrailing ? '' : ' '));

foreach ($EXCEPTION_LIST as $Word) {
   $String = preg_replace(/(\s+)$Word(\s+)/i, \\1$Word\\2, $String);
}

#  Replace invariants

$String =  $String ;
   
foreach ($INVARIANT_LIST as $Word) {
   $String = preg_replace(/(\s+)$Word(\s+)/i, \\1$Word\\2, $String);
}

#  Replace whitespace and return

return $StringParts[1].trim($String).$StringParts[3];

}

None that I've seen.
But it wouldn't be hard to write a function that takes a 
string, passes that string to ucwords() and then you can
run through a pre-defined array and just do an ereg_replace()
on those words you want to remain lowercase...

Or something like that...

RE: [PHP] ucwords Except 'The' 'And' etc?

2001-08-13 Thread Steve Edberg 

Something like this, perhaps (untested):

function smart_ucwords($String)
{

$ExceptionList = array('the', 'an', 'a'); # should all be in lowercase

$String = ucwords(strtolower(ltrim($String))); # LINE A

foreach ($ExceptionList as $Word)
{
$String = eregi_replace([[:space:]]+$Word[[:space:]]+, 
$Word, $String);
}

return $String; # LINE B

}

This will leave the exception word capitalized if it is the first 
word in the $String (as it should be), or if it is the last work in 
the $String (unlikely). If you want to handle cases where the 
exception word comes at the end of the string, just replace LINE A 
above with

$String = ucwords(strtolower($String)).' ';

and LINE B with

return rtrim($String);

Of course, there will be exceptions that are near-impossible to 
programmatically determine, eg;
'Dr. Martin van Hooten Hears a Who'

in this case, van should be lower case, since it isn't referring to a 
medium-capacity box-like automobile, tennis shoe brand, or naval 
vanguard.
