$values["name"]=ucwords($values["name"]);



Thank You - That Worked....
Here is another question, How can you STOP the user from entering all CAPITOL LETTERS in the fullname field?

Before you implement this code, think first if it might affect you negatively. I've been using it for a while now and starting to notice some complications.
While on the topic of this, I started realizing that it doesn't work for all names. What's the best way to make an exception for names that have "McDonalds" where the 'D' should also be capital? Do you do a search and replace or just ignore names that have "Mc" also customer's names with hyphens etc
