I'm probably missing something really obvious.
While converting a bunch of string before inserting them in a array I noticed some string where different among each other because of first char being uppercase or not. I decided then to use ucfirst
to make first character uppercase but it seems it doesn't work properly, I have had a look around on the web trying to figure out why this is happening but I had no luck.
$produtto = 'APPLE';
echo ucfirst($produtto);
//output: APPLE
If I use instead mb_convert_case
$produtto = 'APPLE';
echo mb_convert_case($produtto, MB_CASE_TITLE, "UTF-8");
//Output: Apple
