php - using ucfirst for sticking words?

Let's say we want to uppercase the first letter in some strings like :

johndev
johnasp
johnphp
johnserver

and we use this for such purpose :

ucfirst(str_replace($name,ucfirst($name),$result['@attributes']['overflows']))

john is our $name variable. It works like this :

Johndev //** these also should be in uppercase, for example : JohnDev
Johnasp
Johnphp
Johnserver

DevJohn
AspJohn
PhpJohn
ServerJohn

How can I fix this?

Finally, I found a way to fix this issue :

$thekey = str_replace($name, '', $result['@attributes']['overflow']);
$ucname = str_replace($name,ucfirst($name),$result['@attributes']['overflow']);
$thename = str_replace($thekey,ucfirst($thekey),$ucname);
echo ucfirst($thename);

Assuming you have $whole and $john, and $name is always the prefix of $whole.

$whole = "johndev";
$name = "john";
$capName = ucfirst($name); // "John"
$tail = substr($whole, strlen($name)); // "dev"
$capTail = ucfirst($tail); // "Dev"
echo $capName . $capTail; // "JohnDev"

If $name could appear anywhere in $whole for any number of times, then you can use:

$whole = "phpjohndevjohnjava";
$name = "john";

$parts = explode($name, $whole); // ["php", "dev", "java"]
$capParts = array_map(ucfirst, $parts); // ["Php", "Dev", "Java"]
$capName = ucfirst($name); // "John"

$answer = implode($capName, $capParts); // "PhpJohnDevJohnJava"
echo $answer;

My solution is: 

echo 
    ucfirst($name) 
    . ucfirst(substr($result['@attributes']['overflows'], strlen($name)));

Here what you do:

  • ucfirst $name itself
  • then ucfirst part of $result['@attributes']['overflows'] which comes after $name
  • concatenate both parts

For strings like 'PhpJohn' just swap parts:

echo 
    ucfirst(substr($result['@attributes']['overflows'], strlen($name)))
    . ucfirst($name);
