Capitalize two letters after splitting the string into two words

Question

I have a string:

$name = ucfirst('kasiang');

I want to split it into two words and create Ka Siang

So what I tried:

echo substr_replace($name,' '.substr($name,2),2)

But i am getting only Ka siang . Is there any way to capitalize second letter too?

Answer 1

You can do like below.

<?php 

$name = ucfirst('kasiang');
echo substr_replace($name,' '.ucfirst(substr($name,2)),2);

?>

Another way is:

<?php 
echo ucwords(substr_replace($name,' '.substr($name,2),2));
?>

Answer 2

You can do it with ucwords , like comment above says:

<?php
$name = ucfirst('kasiang');

echo ucwords(substr_replace($name,' '.substr($name,2),2));

Result:

Ka Siang
