Hi alouty,

Something like this should work:


function getAcronym($string)
{
    $words = explode(" ", $string);
    $acronym = "";

    foreach ($words as $w) {
         $acronym .= $w[0];
    }

    return $acronym;
}

// Register function with Smarty
$smarty->register_modifier('get_acronym', 'getAcronym');

then in your template, do:

{assign var=firstletter value=$entry->company_name|get_acronym}
