One I wrote last year sometime:
<?php
error_reporting(E_ALL);
$strings = array('This is a test with only one cap.',
'This One Has Some More',
'AND THIS ONE IS SHOUTING');
function get_caps_pct($string)
{
$string = preg_replace('/[^a-z]/i', '', $string);
$non_caps = strlen(preg_replace('/[^A-Z]/', '', $string));
$caps = strlen(preg_replace('/[A-Z]/', '', $string));
return $caps ? ($non_caps / $caps) * 100 : 100;
}
foreach ($strings as $string)
{
$pct = (int) get_caps_pct($string);
echo "Percentage of characters which are CAPITALS: $pct%\n";
}
?>
Output:
Percentage of characters which are CAPITALS: 4%
Percentage of characters which are CAPITALS: 38%
Percentage of characters which are CAPITALS: 100%
Cheers,
Torben
