Hi Guys,

I have a slightly strange issue here.

I am using a piece of code: 

        substr($loc_temp_name,0,1) = uc(substr($loc_temp_name,0,1));

[download]

All the other letters are coming out capitalised nicely, but letters with accents are coming out in lower case still.

Eg Diagnosis "úlcera" (ulcera with u accented) does not have capitalised "Ú" (U with accent).

Trying to fix with: 

    substr($loc_temp_name,0,1) = uc(substr(decode("utf8",$loc_temp_nam
+e),0,1));

[download]
does indeed fix it but also prints all the other accented letters with accents.

I've tried various permutations of this theme but to no avail.

Ideas gratefully received.

Regards

Steve
