For every word with an uneven letter count write the letter in the middle of the word out with a capital by making use of your own functions.
The Sentence is:- PHP is allot of fun for all of us.
How would one do that? Change a the middle letter of a word to a cap??!!!
Hi there,
Not tested this, but works in my head!
[php]$string = ‘PHP is allot of fun for all of us’;
$words = explode(’ ‘,$string);//Split string into an array of words (break the spaces)
foreach($words as $key => $word)
{
$letters = preg_split(’//’,$word,PREG_SPLIT_NO_EMPTY);//Split the word into an array of the letters
if(count($letters)%2 !== 0) //If the number of letters in the word / 2 doesn’t have a remainder of 0
{
$lkey = (count($letters)+1)/2; //Find location of middle letter
$letters[$lkey] = strtoupper($letters[$lkey]); //Replace the middle letter with it’s uppercase equivalent
}
$words[$key] = implode(’’,$letters); //Replace this word in the $words array with the $letters (now with capitalised middle letter)
}
$newstring = implode(’ ',$words); //Create a new string and convert our array of words back into a string (separating the words with a space again)
[/php]
Should work, let me know!
i attempted this same task and the code does not work, can anyone give a tested code? ;D
this is the code i have so far
function capitals($text2)
{
$_words = explode (" ",$text2);
$result = " ";
for ($c=0; $c<sizeof($_words); $c++)
{
if (strlen(str_replace("."," ",$_words[$c]))%2)
{
$trim = str_replace("."," ",$_words[$c]);
$pos = round (count (strlen (str_replace("."," ".$_words[$c]) ) /2) );
$letter = strtoupper(substr($_words[$c],$pos,1));
$new = substr($_words[$c],0,$pos-1).substr_replace($_words[$c],$letter,$pos).substr($_words[$c],$pos+1);
$result .= $new." ";
}
else
{
$result .= $_words[$c]." ";
}
}
return $result;
}
however, it is not capitalizing the middle letter but the one before it on words longer than 3 letters… can anyone help?
Tested my code and altered slightly:
[php]function capmid($string)
{
$words = explode(’ ‘,$string);//Split string into an array of words (break the spaces)
foreach($words as $key => $word)
{
$letters = preg_split(’//’,trim($word));//Split the word into an array of the letters
array_shift($letters);
array_pop($letters);
if(count($letters)%2 !== 0) //If the number of letters in the word / 2 doesn’t have a remainder of 0
{
$lkey = count($letters)/2; //Find location of middle letter
$letters[$lkey] = strtoupper($letters[$lkey]); //Replace the middle letter with it’s uppercase equivalent
}
$words[$key] = implode(’’,$letters); //Replace this word in the $words array with the $letters (now with capitalised middle letter)
}
$newstring = implode(’ ',$words); //Create a new string and convert our array of words back into a string (separating the words with a space again)
return $newstring;
}
echo capmid(‘PHP is allot of fun for all of us’); //result: PHP is alLot of fUn fOr aLl of us [/php]
