Re: [PHP] variables??

[Dave O'Meara]

It is considered more secure to declare the variable explicitly.

$var = $_GET[var];

  I'm having a problem with form data being recognized by a php script.
  If I send information with a GET the variable data appears in $GET[var]
  but not $var.

Re: [PHP] Capitalising Personal Names

[Dave O'Meara]

Maybe a script that tests the entry, and asks the user to reconfirm
nonstandard spelling and capitalization.  Something like...

if ($name != ucwords($name) {
//script that suggests ucwords($name) as a possible correction
//but allows the user to confirm nonstandard capitalization scheme
//by re-entering the name.
}

Then what goes into the database is either
a) standard format, or
b) has been confirmed by the user.

 Hi Danny,

   I need to clean up the capitalisation of user-entered personal names.
 
  Well it's hardly rocket science - a flick through the manual and I
  came up with :
  $name=ucwords(strtolower($name));

 While that would work in many cases, how do you catch exceptions such as
the
 following?

 ?php

   $names[] = Ludwig van Beethoven;
   $names[] = Ronald MacDonald;
   $names[] = Alexis de Tocqueville;
   $names[] = Tim O'Reilly;

   foreach ($names as $name)
 echo $name.  - . ucwords(strtolower($name)). br /;

 ?

 Cheers
 Jon
