Hi!
Being a ucfirst issue, I want to capitalize the first letter in a
string. What caught my attention is this sentence in the PHP
documentation: "Note that 'alphabetic' is determined by the current
locale. For instance, in the default "C" locale characters such as
umlaut-a (ä) will not be converted."
Well, that is what potentially might happen. Is there a less language
discriminatory version of ucfirst or do I need to snip off the first
character and check it against ä,ö, and ü to make them Ä, Ö, and Ü? That
will take care of German, but what about other languages?
The locale of my system is US-English, but the script could run on other
locales as well. Is there any way to switch the locale on the fly? Even
if, I'd neet to noodle the string through ucfirst through all quite a
bunch of locales.
This is "bupid" how my 2 year old would put it.
