With delimiters

Here we have used , as word delimiters

$my_str="hello,welcome";
echo ucwords($my_str,',');

Output is here

Hello,Welcome

Now we will use | as delimiters

$my_str="hello,welcome|home";
echo ucwords($my_str,'|');

Output is here

Hello,welcome|Home

Using both , and | as delimiters

$my_str="hello,welcome|home";
echo ucwords($my_str,'|,');

Output is here

Hello,Welcome|Home
