hello
i noticed that if names, e.g. "joe bloggs" was entered it would appear as "joe bloggs". how can i make it "Joe Bloggs". i.e. automatically 1st letter of each word into capital letters
thanks

You can use php's ucwords function.

$name = ucwords($name);

how about the 2 sections: /* Let's strip those slashes */

I suggest that you change your mind on that idea. Your own username in this forum icepack starts with a lower case. Other people might like to write a name starting with lower case.

Wouldn't it make more sense to consider making the words in the subject start with capital letters if at all doing it any place?

You should give Weird Dragons' input some consideration, but if you want to do this anyway add

Code: Select all

$name = ucwords($name);

just below

Code: Select all

$name=pj_input($_POST['name'],'Please enter your name!');

and for subject add

Code: Select all

$subject = ucwords($subject);

just below

Code: Select all

$subject=pj_input($_POST['subject'],'Please write a subject!');

The second code is located TWICE in mboard.php!

hi klemen
thanks for the help
i found most people on my forum type in their real names as opposed to a nickname/username (as the theme is serious) so decided to go for the change to tidy things up.
cheers!
