Answer 1

Do this really cheaply by just always uppercasing your first word:

function ucword($word){
    return strtoupper($word{0}) . substr($word, 1) . " ";
}

function ucwordss($str, $exceptions) {
    $out = "";
    $words = explode(" ", $str);
    $words[0] = ucword($words[0]);
    foreach ($words as $word) {
        $out .= (!in_array($word, $exceptions)) ? ucword($word)  : $word . " ";
    }
    return rtrim($out);
}
