ucwords function with exceptions

Question

I need some help i have this code that Uppercase the first character of each word in a string with exceptions i need the function to ignore the exception if it\'s at the beg

Answer 1

what about you make the first letter in the string upper case so no matter your mix you will still come through

$string = "my cat is going to the vet";
$string = ucfirst($string);
$ignore = array("is", "to", "the");
echo ucwordss($string, $ignore);

this way you first letter of the string will always be upper case
