I think ucfirst() only does the first character of the string...
ucwords() will do all the parts of the name.
The only shortcoming I've found is if people put in a middle initial and
add a period to it, or put a nickname in quotes... ucwords() skips
those.

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.
