Combine ucwords and substr in php

Question

The following echo is currently all uppercase, how do I force the first letter capitalized and the rest lower case of each word but still limit the length using substr or something similar?

<?php echo substr($row['fulladdress'],0,20); ?>

you mean like echoing string of `"LOREM IPSUM DOLOR SIT AMET"` to `"Lorem Ipsum Dolor Si"`? — Ivan Hušnjak, Sep 05 '12 at 13:05

Should do it. Just wrap it in ucfirst function

<?php echo ucfirst(strtolower(substr($row['fulladdress'],0,20))); ?>
