Question

Ho can i explode $param string into $chunks pieces based on upper-case characters?

$string = \'setIfUnmodifiedSince\';
$method = su         


        

Answer 1

If you wish to convert string with lover case you can @jensgram's code, where I have changed hyphen (-) to underscore (_)

strtolower(preg_replace('/(?<!^)([A-Z])/', '_\\1', $param));

as I was looking for.

Answer 2

function splitAtUpperCase($string){
    return preg_replace('/([a-z0-9])?([A-Z])/','$1-$2',$string);
}

$string = 'setIfUnmodifiedSince';
echo splitAtUpperCase($string);

Answer 3

Using preg_split() on [A-Z] should do:

function splitAtUpperCase($s) {
        return preg_split('/(?=[A-Z])/', $s, -1, PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);
}

---

EDIT
If you don't need the array itself, you can just preprend uppercase characters (except the first) with a hyphen (-):

preg_replace('/(?<!^)([A-Z])/', '-\\1', $param);

(demo)

Answer 4

$chunks = preg_split('/(?=[A-Z])/', $string);
