A php function not working inside a template?

[FuturShoc]

I can see no reason this wouldn't be working, but it isn't capitalizing my page title.

<h1><?php echo ucwords($page->title); ?></h1>

Just a blind dab – don't you have something like text-transform: lowercase; in your css?

I don't, no. I'm even looking at the page source and the caps are not getting applied. :-\

Does it work with a string?

Does it work with a string?

Oddly, it does not.

Works fine here

echo $page->title; // meine seite

echo ucwords($page->title); // Meine Seite

Also ucwords isn't multibyte save. So special chars don't get uppercase.

Is the page title already all caps? ucwords needs a strtolower first if that is the case. Although you tested diogo's suggestion, so I am guessing this is probably not the problem unless the string you tried was all caps as well.

Do other php functions work in that context, or is it just ucwords that doesn't work?

Works fine here...

echo $page->title; // meine seite

echo ucwords($page->title); // Meine Seite

echo ucwords(strtoupper($page->title)); // MEINE SEITE

echo strtoupper($page->title); // MEINE SEITE (btw)

maybe use:  ucfirst(strtolower($page->title))

[diogo]

echo ucwords(strtoupper($page->title)); // MEINE SEITE

This doesn't make any sense

[kongondo]

Oops!

echo strtoupper($title);

Corrected..

Actually I think it is kind of a useful example that highlights what Martijn and I said above. 

ucwords won't work on capitalized strings, which is why that example of kongondo's doesn't show Meine Seite
