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.
