I just I'd tell you to RTFM (although I did tell you to read the manual regarding the specifics of using preg_replace()'s 'e' modifier after showing you a working example of how to use it, based on your original code snippet) Yes, I'm using your example right now to help me learn this preg_replace beast. The php.net page on preg_replace was just to overwhelming for the exhausted state of mind I was in. I did berate the fact that you waited no more than 7 minutes before sending a 'help me' reminder regarding your original post. No, that was a misunderstanding, I was just saying thanks to the guy who said, why not just use ulfirst(). (Which I also missed on the php.net page on strings.) missed all the answers in the fine manual this time. Cut me some slack. cut you slack? are you a graphic designer or something? How did you know? I was 'in' graphics for 30 years before I threw my hands up at that lunatic world and decided to become a programmer. I love the printing industry but ever since the Mac took over everybody went nuts. The printers are still mad, after 15 years, that the Mac took away their razor blades and rubylith.

Wow this is hard I can't wait till I get the hang of it.
Capitalize the first letter of a word.
echo preg_replace('/(^)(.)(.*$)/', strtoupper('\\2') . '\\3',
'yikes!');
// outputs yikes!
Nope didn't work.
So I want to see if I'm in the right place:
echo preg_replace('/(^)(.)(.*$)/', '\\1' . '-' . strtoupper('\\2') .
'-' . '\\3', 'yikes!');
//outputs -y-ikes!
So yea I've got it surrounded why now strtoupper: Yikes!
Thanks

to running strtoupper() on the string literal '\\2' which after it has been
capitalized will be '\\2'.
if you *really* want to use preg_replace():
echo preg_replace(/(^)(.)(.*\$)/e, \\\1\ . strtoupper(\\\2\) . \\\3\,
yikes!),
\n;
notice the 'e' modifier on the regexp - it causes the replace string to be
treated as a string of php
code that is autoamtically evaluated - checvk the manual for more info.
(I used double quotes only so that I could test the code on the cmdline using
'php -r')
...BUT I suggest you try this function instead: ucfirst()

nobody here cares whether your project is overdue -
waiting 7 minutes before sending a 'reminder' about the
question you asked suggests you need to take a PATIENCE
lesson.
or did some fraudster sell you a php support contract?
