The function that you want is called: ucfirst()
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ucfirst.php
To make sure that string are consistant you might want to convert all
characters in the string to Lower case first then call this function. This
will ensure that stuff like "JoHn sMITH" gets converted to "John Smith"
consistantly.
