Proper case title for City, State including apostrophe

I have this code:

$CapDeliveryCityANDState = str_replace('\, ', '\,', ucwords(str_replace('\,', '\, ', strtolower($CapDeliveryCityANDState))));
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = strrev(ucfirst(strrev($CapDeliveryCityANDState)));

that makes the first letter capital of every word and the rest lowercase and after the comma "," it makes the first two letters capital, but I want to add another thing and to make a letter capital if there is a "'" so, so far what I have works great for this example:

cHiCago, il would become Chicago, IL

but if it was o'fallon, mo it would be O'fallon, MO but I would like it to be O'Fallon, MO (capital after the apostrophe)

Thanks for the help...

SOLUTION IS:

    $CapDeliveryCityANDState = str_replace('\, ', '\,', ucwords(str_replace('\,', '\, ', strtolower($CapDeliveryCityANDState))));
    $CapDeliveryCityANDState = strrev(ucfirst(strrev($CapDeliveryCityANDState)));
    if(strpos($CapDeliveryCityANDState, "'")) {
            $pos = strpos($CapDeliveryCityANDState, "'") + 1;
    }
    $CapDeliveryCityANDState = substr_replace($CapDeliveryCityANDState, strtoupper($CapDeliveryCityANDState[$pos]), $pos, 1);
    $CapDeliveryCityANDState[$l=strlen($CapDeliveryCityANDState)-2] = strtoupper($CapDeliveryCityANDState[$l]);

Added more to this code for anyone if they ever need it:

$CapDeliveryCityANDState = $contact_CityandStateSTR;
if(strlen($CapDeliveryCityANDState) >= 5){ //If more then 5 letters then do the below
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = str_replace('\, ', '\,', ucwords(str_replace('\,', '\, ', strtolower($CapDeliveryCityANDState))));
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = strrev(ucfirst(strrev($CapDeliveryCityANDState)));
if(strpos($CapDeliveryCityANDState, "'")) {
        $pos = strpos($CapDeliveryCityANDState, "'") + 1;
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = substr_replace($CapDeliveryCityANDState, strtoupper($CapDeliveryCityANDState[$pos]), $pos, 1);
}

$mystringz = $CapDeliveryCityANDState;
$findmez   = ',';
$posz = strpos($mystringz, $findmez);
if ($posz !== false) {
// IF NOT FALSE THEN CAP. LAST 2 LETTERS (STATE)
$CapDeliveryCityANDState[$l=strlen($CapDeliveryCityANDState)-2] = strtoupper($CapDeliveryCityANDState[$l]);
} else {
// ELSE IF FALSE THEN LEAVE AS IS
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = $contact_CityandStateSTR;
}
}
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = str_replace(" ,", ",", $CapDeliveryCityANDState); //remove space after city
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = str_replace(",", ", ", $CapDeliveryCityANDState); //add space after comma
$CapDeliveryCityANDState = preg_replace('!\s+!', ' ', $CapDeliveryCityANDState); //Check and remove double space

Find the apostrophe with strstr(). If it exists, explode the values into the two parts (before and after the apostrophe), capitalize them, then implode() them on the apostrophe again.
