Regex for ... genealogical names

A slightly more complex problem than phone numbers ...

It is a sort of convention to use the format 'JohnDoeSMITH' or 'John Doe SMITH' 
where each forename starts with a capital and the surname is in upper case. I 
have a crude method of scanning for the capitals and splitting this to give me 
an array of name segments with [0] as the Surname and a variable number of 
Forenames, but is there an 'elegant' way via regex to extract this into an array?

I wouldn't try and do this with a regex, it would just become too
complicated. What about people with no middle name, or multiple middle
names? How do you deal with double-barrelled names like John
Walter-Smythe Doe? You would be far better off using multiple input
boxes for this sort of thing, and then format it as required when
outputting the data.

Thanks,
Ash

Try this. not tested.

First, which adds spaces as needed. e.g. JohnDoeSMITH > 'John Doe SMITH'

$newName=preg_replace("%(?<=[a-z])([A-Z])", " $1", $name);//Cap following low
case, add space before it

Next, alphas following a cap, lower case them

function lowCase($matches){return strtolower($matches[1]);}

$newName= preg_replace_callback("%(?<=[A-Z])([A-Z])%", "lowCase', $newName);

Sorry don't have time today to test; but, this should get you started.

Can you post the code that you are using?

It should look something like the following:

<?php echo "Hello World!"; ?>

And normally would need to be saved as a .php file so the contents will be
handled by php.

Save the code as hello.php. Copy it to your root web directory (should be the base directory or something
called public_html / www when you FTP in) and access it from youdomain.com/hello.php

Re: Newbie Question

Sorry, here is the code. The .php extension is a requirement? Can't it b
embedded on a .html file?

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> <title>Untitled Document</title>
</head> <body> <?php $a = "hello"; $hello ="Hello Everyone"; echo $a; echo
$hello; ?> </body> </html>
