strip-tags

hi,

How can I make upper-case the first character of each word in a string accept a couple of words which I don't want to transform them, like - and, to, etc?

For instance, I want this - ucwords('art and design') to output the string below,

'Art and Design'

is it possible to be like - strip_tags($text, '<p><a>') which we allow

and in the string?

or I should use something else? please advise!

thanks.
