capitalization

Hey guys, i need a method to capitalize every first letter of a word. This is what i got so far and it is working for almost every string...but it fails on this one "WELLNESS & RENOMME".

    // method in stringModify Class
    function capitalizeWords($words, $charList) {

    $capitalizeNext = true;

    for ($i = 0, $max = strlen($words); $i < $max; $i++) {
        if (strpos($charList, $words[$i]) !== false) {
            $`capitalizeNext` = true;
        } else if ($capitalizeNext) {
            $capitalizeNext = false;
            $words[$i] = strtoupper($words[$i]);
        }
    }

    return $words;
    }
    // Calling method
   $stringModify->capitalizeWords("WELLNESS & RENOMME", " -&");

I hope someone can help me out...i tried for 1,5 hours now and don't have a clue. Thanks in advance for any tips or hints. Greetz Paulie
