Brett!! That’s it…I can’t believe I missed that. You’re right - I did replace ucwords with htmlentities quite some time ago for security and I completely forgot about it. Nice find! I’ll change the blog…do you keep a blog/site somewhere so I can credit you for that change?

OK. I figured out the ucwords problem! To get capitalization on the first letters of each keyword simply replace

{echo htmlentities($_GET['kw']);}

with

{echo htmlentities(ucwords($_GET['kw']));}

It sorted it for me. Hope that helps

I’m having the same problem with ucwords. Everything’s working fine, but the first letters of the keywords aren’t capitalized. The link http://us3.php.net/ucwords didn’t really help either. My server runs php 5.

Perhaps the problem is the fact that you changed

{echo ucwords($_GET['kw']);}

{echo htmlentities($_GET['kw']);}

for security reasons? So how can we put ‘ucwords’ and ‘htmlentities’ together on the same line??

That’s strange…should work in php4 and 5. Maybe this will help with formatting?

http://us3.php.net/ucwords

And perhaps you can try using ‘ instead of ” around the string…depends on your document although I doubt that’s the problem if it is displaying properly and just not capitalizing the first letter of each word.

I’m having the same problem with ucwords. First letter of each word in the keyword phrase does not display as uppercase. Here’s the code I’m using:

Anyone with a solution?? Thanks.

yeah…the ucwords function doesn’t make the first letter of my keyphrase uppercase…the php code output the keyphrase but in lowercase only.

Hi Dennis, ucwords is only supposed to capitalize the first letter of each word in your phrase…is it not doing so? -James

Thanks…I rewrote the php code and it worked fine but the “ucwords” doesn’t make my keyphrase uppercase. Not sure why though…any suggestions?

Hi Dennis!

Sometimes, rewriting the quote marks will help…for some reason, different browsers copy the wrong quote marks when you copy and paste the code…it’s really annoying!

And if that doesn’t work, there might be another formatting issue with copying/pasting so simply rewrite the line of code yourself in your favorite text editor.

Please let me know if that helps!
