Uppercase for first letter with php

How can I convert to uppercase for the following example :

title-title-title

Result should be:

Title-Title-Title

I tried with ucwords but it converts like this: Title-title-title

I currently have this:

echo $title = ($this->session->userdata('head_title') != '' ? $this->session->userdata('head_title'):'Our Home Page');

Edit #2

This isn't working for the new information added to op, as there is an answer this won't be updated to reflect that.

Edit #1

$var = "title-title-title";
$var = str_replace (" ", "_", ucwords (str_replace (" ", "_", $var));

Old, non-working

$var = "title-title-title";
$var = implode("-", ucwords (explode("-", $var)));

Demo

Not as swift as Ghost's but a touch more readable for beginners to see what's happening.

//break words on delimiter
$arr = explode("-", $string);

//capitalize first word only
$ord = array_map('ucfirst', $arr);

//rebuild the string
echo implode("-", $ord);

The array_map() applies callback to the elements of the given array. Internally, it traverses through the elements in our word-filled array $arr and applies the function ucfirst() to each of them. Saves you couple of lines.

In this particular string example, you could explode the strings first, use that function ucfirst() and apply to all exploded strings, then put them back together again:

$string = 'title-title-title';
$strings = implode('-', array_map('ucfirst', explode('-', $string)));
echo $strings;

Should be fairly straightforward on applying this:

$title = '';
if($this->session->userdata('head_title') != '') {
    $raw_title = $this->session->userdata('head_title'); // title-title-title
    $title = implode('-', array_map('ucfirst', explode('-', $raw_title)));
} else {
    $title = 'Our Home Page';
}

echo $title;

try the following:

$str='title-title-title';
$s='';
foreach(explode('-',$str) as $si){
    $s.= ($s ? "-":"").ucfirst($si);
}

$s should be Title-Title-Title at this point
