Last Updated: September 18, 2022 php Share on :

If you need to uppercase the first character of each word in a string in PHP, you can use the ucwords() function. This function takes a string as an argument and returns a new string with the first character of each word in the original string capitalized.

<?php
  $str = "hello world";
  
  $res = ucwords($str);
  
  echo $res;
?>

Output

Hello World

To convert the first letter of each word of a String to uppercase:

Define a String that contains some words.
Pass the string to the ucwords() function that will return the string with each word having the first character uppercase.
print the string.
