Is it possible? Im stuck here..

E.g.

check("String") -> false
check("StRing") -> true

And if its possible, how would you split the word in two? (St Ring)

To detect them, you could do something like:

PHP Code:

function check($string){
  if(ucfirst(strtolower($string))==ucfirst($string))
    return false;
  else
    return true;
}

check('StrIng'); //true
check('String'); //false 


I don't relly know how to solve your second problem, but it may be possible using regular expressions.

I think this could be solved like this:

- parse each character in the string to see if it's upper case
- each upper case char's position is pushed into an array
- truncate the string according to the elements in the upper case char positions array -- eg. substr('abcdef', 0, 8); // abcdef
- use ucase() for each chunk and add a space...

I think you could also do this with a regular expression, but I'm not a reg exp buff.

Let me know if you need more details.

OK. Forget about what I posted earlier.
I thought I had written something a while ago that addressed your issue... After a little fiddling, I came up with this solution:


function parseString($tempStr){
$search = array ("A","B","C","D","E","F","G","H","I","J",
"K","L","M","N","O","P","Q","R","S","T",
"U","V","W","X","Y","Z");
foreach($search as $capChar){
$tempStr = str_replace($capChar, " ".$capChar, $tempStr);
}
//get rid of multiple spaces
$tempStr = preg_replace("'([ ])[\s]+'", "\\1", $tempStr);
return trim($tempStr);//get rid of extra white space
}

$myStr = "JustAnotherBeautifulDay InTheNeighborhood";
echo $myStr; // JustAnotherBeautifulDay InTheNeighborhood
echo "<br>";
echo parseString($myStr);// Just Another Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

I tested it on my own server and it worked. See the output in the comments.

Try this function:

PHP Code:


function isUpMid( $str ){
        $middle = strlen( $str ) % 2 ? floor( strlen( $str ) / 2 ) : floor( strlen( $str ) / 2 ) - 1;
        return ( $str{ $middle } >= 'A' && $str{ $middle } <= 'Z' );
    }

But to do what he wants: "...And if its possible, how would you split the word in two? (St Ring)"
you'll have to do a bit more work.
I thought the end result would matter more than just building a function that finds an upper case char. So I added a few more things he'd probably want to do as well, like removing multiple spaces, and chunking up the string into individual words (even if more than 2).
Not bad though. I haven't used floor() in a while.

Oh i missed that...

I suggest use substr to split the words, since you already have the middle index store in $middle, you can use this variable as parameter for substr...

Thanks a lot guys for your great help.

I'll check it out when I get home.

$mystring = "There'sAlwaysMoreThanOneWayToDoIt!";

$mynewstring = preg_replace("/([^A-Z]*)([A-Z])([^A-Z]*)/","$1 $2$3",$mystring);
