[FX.php List] Capitalization

[Jonathan Schwartz]

Hi Folks,

To condition form data, I am using strtolower() and ucwords() to get 
"proper"  capitalization.  The biggest offenders are the "all lower 
case" users, closely followed by the "ALL UPPER CASE"  users.

The problem I see with forcing capitalization with these function are 
the occasional names that don't follow the "rules": deSilva, etc.

As I write this, I'm realizing that perhaps I can creat a rule based 
on the "de" and similar beginnings to surnames that pose the 
exceptions.

Why I enjoy the results of sanitized data from forms, I feel an 
obligation to not force mis-capitalization if possible.

Thanks

Jonathan
