ucfirst() will help you, but note that it will only convert the first to upper case. All others can also be in upper case, so you may want those to be converted to lower case first.

<?php echo ucfirst(strtolower($row->username)); ?>

Safe UTF-8 method

<?php echo asd($row->firstname); ?>

    function asd($string){
     if(mb_strlen($string)){
     return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($string,0,1)).mb_substr($string,1,mb_strlen($string));
    }else{
     return false;
    }
    }

but in Codeigniter you can just do:

$this->load->helper('string');
echo humanize($row->username);

Third case (the one i prefer usually) is to use CSS class:

.capitalize{
 text-transform:capitalize;
}

<a class="capitalize"><?php echo $row->firstname; ?></a>

Php has a ucfirst() function it Make a string's first character uppercase.

<?php echo ''.ucfirst($row->username).'' ?>

it'd be easier for you to use CSS instead of a PHP function to display this.

use this line of CSS:

text-transform: capitalize;
