php - Detect if i by itself is lower case and change it to upper

I am trying to figure out how to determine if an ' i ' by itself meaning there is a space on either side of it is lowercase and change that i to a capital I.

So far I have

$explode = str_replace(ctype_lower(' i '),' I ',$explode);

which is not working

I think a preg_replace would suite this better that way you can use word bounds so it will match instances like i'm. I'm assuming your are using this to correct miss typed instances of I.

$explode = preg_replace("/\bi\b/", "I", $explode);

You don't need to call ctype_lower() it will just replace the lower 'i' if it get's found in the string, just do this:

$explode = str_replace(' i ',' I ',$explode);
