In this tutorial, we are going to learn how to Convert String to Sentence Case using PHP. We all know, in a sentence form, the first letter is capitalized and the following word is lowercased but with the proper nouns and other words must be generally in capitalized word. We are going to convert the string to sentence case. For example, the user comment to a webpage, it will display the string into the web page but you cannot, sure enough, the text from the user is properly formatted or not. In that case, you need to program to convert the text or a string to sentence case before displaying the web page. We are going to use PHP, so you can easily convert any text or string to sentence case. Let’s begin.

PHP Query

This source code will help us to convert the string to sentence case. Take a look,

<?php
 
function text_Example_Case($example_String_Text) { 
    $texts = preg_split('/([.?!]+)/', $example_String_Text, -1,PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY|PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE); 
    $newexample_String_Text = ''; 
    foreach ($texts as $mark => $text) { 
        $newexample_String_Text .= ($mark & 1) == 0? 
            ucfirst(strtolower(trim($text))) : 
            $text.' '; 
    } 
    return trim($newexample_String_Text); 
}
