capitalize first and last name with php

Question

I have a string $name that contains a first and last name e.g. Bob Smith, assuming the user types in bob smith I want to be able to capitalize the first letters of their first and last names.

I have tried this: $bar = ucfirst(strtolower($bar)); // Hello world! which only outputs Bob smith. How would one make it so that both the first and last name are capitalized?
