It’s common that you need to reformat the texts in PHP and make them look a little more formal. For example, the first letter of all sentences should be uppercased, or with a title, the first letter of all words should also be made uppercase; in other situations, you may want all letters to be in uppercase.

Make all letters in a string lowercase

strtolower('ABc De!'); // returns 'abc de!'

Make all letters in a string uppercase

strtoupper('ABc De!'); // returns 'ABC DE!'

Make the first letter of every word uppercase

ucwords('world digital library'); // returns 'World Digital Library'

Make the first letter of a sentence uppercase

ucfirst('how are you?'); // returns 'How are you?'
