Customer name and address in uppercase

[posword]

I want to force the customer's name and address to be in uppercase as or before it is being inserted into the database. Some customers use all lowercase and some mixed case. A search reveals the command upper() function will do it.

 

Any ideas where I need to put this in the code and in which file(s)?

 

Thanks,

Peter

You could try using strtoupper().

 

If you look in the create_account.php you will find this code:

$firstname = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstname']);

$lastname = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['lastname']);

 

This is the first name and the last name. You will find more like street_address, city, state and country. This is what you would change the above two lines too if you want to make them upper case no matter what:

 

$firstname = tep_db_prepare_input(strtoupper($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstname']));

$lastname = tep_db_prepare_input(strtoupper($HTTP_POST_VARS['lastname']));

I used this code:

$firstname = tep_db_prepare_input(ucwords(strtolower($HTTP_POST_VARS['firstname'])));

And it works on everything except names like McCallahan. The second C will be lower case. This code converts everything to lower case, then makes the first letter capitalized.

Thanks, natewlew, I've made the changes.

I used this code:

    $firstname = tep_db_prepare_input($_POST['firstname']);
   if ((strcmp($firstname, strtoupper($firstname)) == 0)) $firstname = strtolower($firstname);
   if ((strcmp($firstname, strtolower($firstname)) == 0)) $firstname = ucwords($firstname);
   $lastname = tep_db_prepare_input($_POST['lastname']);
   if ((strcmp($lastname, strtoupper($lastname)) == 0)) $lastname = strtolower($lastname);
   if ((strcmp($lastname, strtolower($lastname)) == 0)) $lastname = ucwords($lastname);
