This bug only for Win32 =)

ucwords() function once again does not work properly with strings containing international characters.

Thus, any character following the "?"(ACSII code == 254) or "?"(ACSII code == 222) letter will always be uppercase.

Code:

<? 
setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"ru_RU.cp1251"); 

$str[] = "??????"; 
$str[] = "??????"; 
$str[] = "????????"; 
$str[] = "????????"; 
$str[] = "???????? =)"; 
$str[] = "????"; 
$str[] = "????"; 

for ($i=0;$i<sizeof($str);$i++) { 
    echo ucwords(strtolower($str[$i]))."<br>"; 
} 
?> 

Result:

?????? 
?????? 
???????? 
???????? 
???????? =) 
???? 
????

Try this:
setlocale(LC_CTYPE,"Russian.1251");

Windows locale string convension is different to *nix's.

See
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/vccore98/html/_crt_language_and_country_strings.asp

for detail.

Thank's. I tried to do this. No effect. =(

I think it can be feature of PHP under Win32 ;-)

Hmm, you can use mb_convert_case() instead if mbstring extension is enabled.

$text = '<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
alert ("this shouldnt be here");
</script>';

$text =strip_tags($text, $allowed_tags);

$text =ucfirst($text);
print $text;

PHP version 4.3 on win 32.

doesnt uppercase output

alert ("this shouldnt be here");

To overseas@mtu-net.ru:

Could you also try
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "Russian_Russia.1251"?
 [2003-02-09 11:48 UTC] overseas at mtu-net dot ru 
Yes. I tried to do it after reading your comment dated 17 Jan 4:50am (with link to MSDN). Output is wrong, but...
Every time starting of script containing 
setlocale (LC_CTYPE, "Russian_Russia.1251") I  have different (!!!) results... Interest, isn't it?

FYI: MySQL (3.23.xx) under Win32 with 
character_set == cp1251
also have problem with LCASE, UCASE.
