nicholasdunbar / headline_style.php
Last active June 23, 2023 14:20
Convert a String to Title Case (also known as Headline Style or Up Style) Take a string, capitalize the first and last words of the title and all nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, and subordinating conjunctions (if, because, as, that, and so on) for example: "Rules for Capitalizing the Words in a Title."
// Converts a string to Title Case based on one set of title case rules
// Put <no_parse></no_parse> around content that you don't want to be parsed by the title case rules
// Test the function :
// echo titleCase("this is a test <no_parse>do you not believe me</no_parse> here is the rest of the string");
// Which would yield the following output :
// This Is A Test do you not believe me Here Is The Rest of The String
