Capitalize text function

I'm looking for a function to capitalize text, so for example if someone has entered a string in ALL CAPS, I want the PHP function to convert it to proper written English syntax, i.e. Sentences start with a capital letter etc.

Any suggestions?

http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.strings.php read that page. Should be plenty of useful functions.

strtoupper should do what you need.

I believe ~josamoto is looking to make sure it's not in all caps. ;)

ucwords() and ucfirst() may be of interest, however they will not handle proper names well.
