I am trying to capitalize the first letter of every sentence (after a period, ? or !) I can capitalize the first letter of only the first sentence. Can anyone please help?
$content_trimmed = ucfirst(strtolower($content_trimmed));
Try this
<?php
function capitalize_sentences($text) {
// Split the text into sentences using regular expression to match ., !, or ?
$sentences = preg_split('/([.!?]\s*)/', $text, -1, PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE);
// Loop through the sentences and capitalize the first letter of each
$result = '';
foreach ($sentences as $key => $sentence) {
// If it's an actual sentence (not punctuation), capitalize it
if ($key % 2 == 0) {
$result .= ucfirst(strtolower($sentence)); // Capitalize and make the rest lowercase
} else {
$result .= $sentence; // Add punctuation back
}
}
return $result;
}
// Example usage
$text = "hello. how are you? i'm fine! how about you?";
echo capitalize_sentences($text);
?>
