# php Question – camel caps?

 * Howdy – I figured out that the following code will spit out the name of my tag
   in a template:
 * <?php single_tag_title(); ?>
 * the problem is this spits the words out in all lower case. Is there some magic
   php to make it capitalize each word? so that “crazy stuff” spits out as “Crazy
   Stuff”.
 * Thanks!

 * PHP -> ucwords()
 * CSS -> text-transform:capitalize

 * umm… cool. so… CSS isn’t going to help because it’s the title field I’m working
   with. How would I go about sticking that ucwords thing in there? I know basically
   zero php.
 * Is it something like this?
 *     ```
       <?php
       $foo = single_tag_title();
       $foo = ucwords($foo);
       echo $foo;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * That’s a seriously illiterate guess…

 * That [looks about right](http://us.php.net/manual/en/function.ucwords.php), actually.

 * Hmm…. darn, doesn’t do anything. Oddly, it still returns the name of the tag 
   and doesn’t throw an error, but no caps. Must be something really simple I’m 
   doing wrong no?

 * Ok. This works.
 *     ```
       <?php
       $foo = single_tag_title("",false);
       $foo = ucwords($foo);
       echo $foo;
       ?>
       ```
   
 * You need the ‘false’ in order to shove the value into a variable.
 * However, it **only** works on tag archive pages.

 * I know that this says resolved but I’m wondering if it’s still not css. I would
   open the style.css file in your template directory and search for “lowercase”.
   It may be that the div for that has a lowercase tag. It just seems like a styling
   issue to me.
