$propercompany = ucwords("WOLF PACK TRADERS");

$propercompany should be "Wolf Pack Traders"

I am running PHP v4.1.1 with:
System Windows NT 5.0 build 2195 
Build Date Dec 30 2001 
Server API CGI 
Virtual Directory Support enabled 
Configuration File (php.ini) Path C:\WINNT\php.ini 
ZEND_DEBUG disabled 
Thread Safety enabled 

And using IIS 5.0

I know that this problem is mentioned in the documentation but I did not find an actual bug report when I searched the bug database to actually have it fixed.

This is expected behavior, not a bug.

$str = 'McDonalds';

You want ucwords($str) to result in Mcdonalds?  If so, use strtolower() first as the documentation suggests.
