Capitalization of a field output

I have a field to display a custom page title

<title><?php echo the_field('custompagetitle'); ?></title>

Existing page titles are PAGE ONE, PAGE TWO, etc. but I am looking for a way to convert them to Capitalized like Page One, Page Two, etc.

HTML titles can not be targeted by css so I have searched for javascript or other methods to capitalize them.

This doesn’t work

<title><?php echo ucwords(strtolower(the_field('custompagetitle'))); ?></title>

but not using ACF fields does work

<title><?php echo ucwords(strtolower("PAGE TWO")); ?></title>

Is there any way to capitalize fields?

Your first issue is that you are using the_field(). the_field() echoes the value. You need to use get_field(). doing this echo the_field(...) is like doing this echo(echo get_field(...))

Using get field this should work

echo ucwords(strtolower(get_field('custompagetitle')));
