How to convert PascalCase to pascal_case?

Question

If I had:

$string = \"PascalCase\";

I need

\"pascal_case\"

Does PHP offer a function for this purpose?

It's easy using the Filter classes of the Zend Word Filters:

underscoreToCamelCase($rawString);
            echo PHP_EOL . $rawString . ' >>> ' . $filteredString . PHP_EOL;
        }
        echo PHP_EOL . '-----' . 'camelCaseToUnderscore' . '-----' . PHP_EOL;
        foreach ($camelCasedStrings as $rawString) {
            $filteredString = $this->camelCaseToUnderscore($rawString);
            echo PHP_EOL . $rawString . ' >>> ' . $filteredString . PHP_EOL;
        }
    }

    public function camelCaseToUnderscore($input)
    {
        $camelCaseToSeparatorFilter = new CamelCaseToUnderscore();
        $result = $camelCaseToSeparatorFilter->filter($input);
        $result = strtolower($result);
        return $result;
    }

    public function underscoreToCamelCase($input)
    {
        $underscoreToCamelCaseFilter = new UnderscoreToCamelCase();
        $result = $underscoreToCamelCaseFilter->filter($input);
        return $result;
    }
}
