PHP package that converts names into the correct case where it is possible.

namecase's Issues

PHP Notice on empty string parameter

If the string parameter supplied to nameCase is empty (""), PHP generates a notice with message "Uninitialized string offset: 0" that comes from here:

namecase/src/Formatter.php

Line 122 in b4facc6

$firstLetterLower = $string[0] == mb_strtolower($string[0]);

It would be better to just check earlier that the string is empty and then return the empty string back instead of trying to access a character that does not exist.

Postnominal exceptions

I don't understand most of post nominals and their origin. But is it possible to add exceptions option to not use some of them?

Reason is in Czech and other Slavic languages "Most" can be valid surname - meaning bridge. It is very rare but there are some occasions. Would it be possible to add post nominal exceptions? I don't want to disable all of them.

Btw. some of them are duplicated like BSc or MR etc

Initals without space

"J. D." leaves as it is, but "J.D." converts to "J.d."

Add support for JJ Abrams and JD Salinger

"MBE" is missing in POST_NOMINALS

Hi I just happened to notice that "MBE" is missing in the POST_NOMINALS constant in src/Formatter.php (it would be on line 86).

"OBE", "CBE", "KBE" and "DBE" are all present, so I assume it's just an oversight.

Add support for Nation of Islam 2X, 3X, etc. names

Combined La names are an issue

Andre LaMothe is converted to Andre Lamothe

support for html encoded strings

Currently if I pass & through, namecase changes it to &Amp; which breaks decoding. Please add an ignore for html encoded entities.
<, >, &amp, ' and "

Missing \b

Line 51 in 1128964

'\bTe([rn])' => 'te\1', // ten, ter Dutch/Flemish.

There is missing end word boundary, this is causing problems with name Tereza or Tenerife etc.
