Try this in your model...
class Whatever extends AppModel {
function beforeSave() {
$data = &$this->data[$this->alias];
if (!empty($data['title'])) {
$data['title'] = ucwords($data['title']);
}
return parent::beforeSave();
}
}
Your could then make this a behavior down the track if you want to re-
use this functionality.
Cheers,
Adam
