Forcing field value to render as UPPERCASE

Hi all,
I’d like to convert all the characters in a field called "title" to UPPER CASE and then echo the UPPERCASE version.
I found strtoupper but can’t seem to implement it correctly.
Any insights?
Thanks,
Jerry Kornbluth

What about using CSS?
text-transform: uppercase;
text-transform: uppercase;

Hi damon,
Didn't know that even existed.
I'm trying to force the UPPERCASE in both a viewer and in an RSS feed.
What would the syntax be for using this in the style sheet/viewer and for the RSS XML.
Is there a reason why I wouldn't want to use strtoupper
Thanks,

Hi,
As far as I'm aware, the styling for RSS feeds is done in the readers, either web or pc/mac based, not in the actually XML.
For an RSS feed, you are better off using the strtoupper function:
<?php
echo strtoupper("Hello WORLD!");
?>
Output:
HELLO WORLD!

Re: [Damon] Forcing field value to render as UPPERCASE
Damon,
I appreciate the feedback.
Since the original code in the rss feed was
I haven't been able to figure out the correct syntax for incorporating "strtoupper" into that line of code.
Thanks,
Jerry

How about this:
I haven't tested this out but it looks good to me.
<?php $title = htmlspecialchars($record['title']; ?>
<title><?php echo strtoupper($title); ?></title>I haven't tested this out but it looks good to me.

Thanks again Damon,
Just tried it and the recommended change renders a blank page.

Sorry, I missed a closing bracket:
<?php $title = htmlspecialchars($record['title']); ?>
<title><?php echo strtoupper($title); ?></title>
I tested this out and it works. Next time, I will write my code in Komodo Edit and it will underline any syntax errors and save me lots of head scratching. :)

Re: [Damon] Forcing field value to render as UPPERCASE
Sorry. I didn't catch it either.
As they say on the other side of the pond...
It works a treat!
Komodo Edit looks interesting. Thanks for that too.

Re: [Damon] Forcing field value to render as UPPERCASE
Hi Damon,
Thanks for the implementation tips. I've been using it a lot.
One question...
If I wanted to implement strtoupper in a date to force any text characters into upper case, what syntax would I use?
Here's what I have now.
Thanks,
Jerry
