That won't work because it'll only capitalize the first letter of the 
string. Since his string contains more than one sentence he needs to 
be able to capitalize the first letter of each sentence. 
 
I'm thinking something like: 
 
1. strtolower() the string 
2. explode() on the period 
3. Loop through the resulting array 
   a. trim() whitespace on each element 
   b. ucfirst() on each element of the array 
   c. Concatenate the string back together, putting a period and a 
      space at the end of each element. 
 
That's the long way. Anyone know the shortcut! <grin>
