Capitalize a letter of a string

Shaffer 0 145 Views

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.

<?php
function cap_letter($string,$letter=0) {
  $letters = str_split($string);
  $letters[$letter] = strtoupper($letters[$letter]);
  return implode($letters);
}
?>

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

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:

$word = 'happy';
echo $word[0];

would return 'h'.

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.
