Question

If we call this:

<?php echo $form->label($model,'Hello my friend'); ?>

We get output it on the viewport the following:

“Hello My Friend”

On the CSS I have nothing that says capitalize, anywhere.

How can we change this behavior ?

I’ve tried to edit the CSS and make:

label {
text-transform: none !important;
}

No luck.

How can we have

Hello my friend

printed exactly as we write it ?

Answer 1

Instead of doing like this on the view file:

<?php echo $form->label($model, 'Hello my friend'); ?>

We have change it to:

<?php echo $form->label($model, 'hello_friend'); ?>

where hello_friend is defined on the respective model method attributeLabels(), like this:

'hello_friend' => 'Hello my friend')

So, as bool.dev properly says, we have to place the attribute name AND NOT a random string.
