As I'm array_walking the database, I have each value at the moment I need it in a string $item. Other than pregging for A-Z how can I accomplish this? I haven't been able to get it down to less than 54 lines of code, which in my opinion means that I'm doing something wrong. Why rule out PCRE, which is probably the best weapon for the job? $string = ltrim(preg_replace('([A-Z])', ' \\1', $string)); You can wrap that in a function or even use create_function for something that simple, in your array_walk.I wasn't tuling it out, I meant that _my_ regex wasn't getting me very far.
