I wish to make something that cuts the name to e.g:

Alex Andersson

to uppercase first word after space(first name) “A” like this:

Alex A.

Right now it displays the full name like this:

echo $data["full_name"]; 

Hope you understand what I mean.

    You described it vaguely, but as I understand that, you can do something like:

    $names = explode(" ", $data["full_name"]);
    foreach ($names as $key => $name)
    {
      if ($key == 0)
        continue;
      $names[$key] = substr($name, 0, 1).'.';
    } 
    echo implode(" ", $names);
    

    This shortens every name except first one.
