string converting-a newbie's question

[Anon]

hi

Is it possible to conver new_account to New Account ?

And

Is it possible to just copy a part of the URL and assign it to a variable?
say my URL is
http://www.phpbuilder.com/forum/list.php3?num=1

can i just copy http://www.phpbuilder.com and assign it to $URL?

P.S. I did read the manual, but i couldn't find any solutions. Please don't say $@##@

Thanks!

Happy Holidays!

I know you said you read the manual, but for your first question, all of the answers are in the string section in the PHP manual. Look into using str_replace to replace the "_" into a space, and then there is a function called ucwords(), I think, that caps the first letter of each word in a string.

As for your second question, load create a page called info.php and put this in it:

<? phpinfo(); ?>

That's it, nothing else. Load up that page in your browser and look for a variable that has what you're looking for. I think HTTP_HOST or SERVER_NAME will work for you. I think you access those through the $GLOBALS[] array... $GLOBALS["HTTP_HOST"] or $GLOBALS["SERVER_NAME"]...

Have fun..
