lcfirst not returning correctly

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to use lcfirst to return the first character in my string as
lowercase.  

What I'm doing:

$title = 'Godzilla';

$lctitle = lcfirst $title;

If I print $lctitle, it should be "g", but it prints "godzilla".  Any
ideas why?

If I have multiple words it does this:

$title = 'Star Wars';
$lctitle = lcfirst $title;

This code prints "star Wars".

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Kevin
