string modification

[rulian]

hello, i need help turn this : "regular string" into "Regular {B]string [/B]"

[asolell]

$MyOriginalString = "Hello World";

$MyOriginalString = "<B>".$MyOriginalString."</B>";

notice the little dots between the strings. That's how you
add one string to another.

well, i can do that no problem, problem is I need to automatise this feature, so that when a user on my website enters
"my text" on the website it will display as "M y text " , so what i'm asking is a way to seperate the first letter of a string from it's content, add html to it, and then place it back onto the string

[asolell]

$MyOriginalString = "Hello World";

$HowManyLetters = strlen($MyOriginalString);
$TheFirstChar = substr($MyOriginalString, 1,1);
$TheRemainOfString = substr($MyOriginalString, 2, $HowManyLetters);

$MyOriginalString = "<B>".$TheFirstChar."</B>".$TheRemainOfString;

Basically you can chop the string anyway you like with the
substr function.
