Greets!

I am using

code:

echo ucwords(strtolower($pageTITLE));

to format the title of a page. However, some titles have things in parenthesis, such as
Program Electronic Review Management (PERM)
but, using my format, ends up as
Program Electronic Review Management (perm)
How can I use ucwords to capitalize the content in the parenthesis?

code:

preg_replace_callback ( "~\([^ A-Z)]+\)", my_func, $str, FUNNY_MATCH__FLAG_LOOK_IT_UP );

my_func ( $matches )
{
  return uppercase $matches[0];
}

Alright - I was noodling with this finally, and I'm still having a problem with it. If I try

code:

<?php
$str = "cool stuff (blah)";
function my_func($matches){
	return ucwords($matches[0]);
}
echo preg_replace_callback("~\([^ A-Z)]+\)~", my_func, $str);
?>

The text in the parenthesis, "blah", is all lower case. If I change the ucwords($matches) to strtoupper($matches), I get "BLAH".

Ay it's not recognizing (blah) as a word, it needs to start alphabetic - really it's breaking for the same reason the first solution did..

Try

code:

<?php
$str = "cool stuff (blah)";
function my_func($matches){
	return "(".ucwords($matches[1]).")";
}
echo preg_replace_callback("~\(([^ A-Z)]+)\)~", my_func, $str);
?>
