This function caps a specific letter of a string, and returns the updated string.
THe first letter is 0, as it is default as well.

Hello,
Thanks for the feedback.
As for cscgal's comment, I want to say that I wanted to leave it with the least amount of code.

Thanks,
Shaffer.

Since a string is defined as an array of characters, you can actually just have line #4 without converting the string to and from an array. In other words:

 Help with Code Tags 
 php Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
$word = 'happy';
echo $word[0];
$word = 'happy';
echo $word[0];

would return 'h'.

I think you mean capitalize. If you capitolize it you turn it into money. I wasn't aware PHP was the philosopher's stone of the 21st century
