PHP Question

When wrapping a string in functions, which one is executed first? ....the outer functions or the inner functions?

i.e:

$string = "THIS SENTENCE IS IN UPPERCASE, BUT WE NEED IT TO BE CONVERTED TO LOWERCASE, AND THEN SENTENCE CASE";

echo ucwords(strtolower($string));

Does the inside function (strtolower) get executed first, or the outside function (ucwords) ?


Thanks

think i've answered my own question, as running that query results in the string becoming sentence case, else if it ran the outside function first, the string would have ended up lowercase.

So the answer is inside function takes president.

Hi

According to me the function inside the brackets is executed first,so first the string is first converted into lowercase.
After that it will the function outside the brackets will be execued.
