The method "ucwords" can only change letters of a first word into upper case. It's not going to be possible to also detect names that contains hyphens "-".

The concept to achieve this would be, you will need to customize and tweak the code by separating the hyphen and only then apply the uppercase characters on each of the word. After that, you will need to re-join the string again.

I am sorry but unfortunately this is beyond the scope of our support and we are unable to provide you with the codes.

Hello,

We just found this little trick that works since it allows to capitalize each word :

// Get the first name.
$firstName = isset($data['first_name']) ? ucwords(strtolower($data['first_name'])) : '';
$middleName = isset($data['middle_name']) ? ucwords(strtolower($data['middle_name'])) : '';
$lastName = isset($data['last_name']) ? ucwords(strtolower($data['last_name'])) : '';

$firstName = mb_convert_case (mb_strtolower ($firstName, "UTF-8" ), MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8" ) ;
$middleName = mb_convert_case (mb_strtolower ($middleName, "UTF-8" ), MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8" ) ;
$lastName = mb_convert_case (mb_strtolower ($lastName, "UTF-8" ), MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8" ) ;

Best regards.
