UTF-8 and capitalize issues

Hi everyone,

I'm applying the capitalize modifier to a particular text
variable,  
which works as expected in most cases. What has recently
come up is  
that non-english characters are throwing a bit of a kink
into my  
plan. For example, Galápagos is coming out as GaláPagos with
the  
capitalize modifier.

I looked through the forums and didn't find any solutions
that  
worked, including using the setlocale() PHP function on my
page...  
All my Smarty template pages are set to charset=utf-8 in the
headers,  
and my mysql tables and text fields are utf8_general_ci.

So at this point I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should
do next.

Any ideas?


Thanks!
Cameron

write and use your own utf-8 aware modifier, like this one:

<?php

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize($string, $uc_digits =
false)
{
    return preg_replace_callback('!\b\w+\b!u',
'smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst', $string);
}

function smarty_modifier_mb_capitalize_ucfirst($string)
{
    return mb_strtoupper(mb_substr($string[0], 0, 1)) .
mb_substr($string[0], 1);
}

?>

Probably OK if you use the u pattern modifier as well.
