You can wrap that in a function or even use create_function for
something that simple, in your array_walk.
$string = preg_replace('/(?=\w)([[:upper:]])/', ' $1', $string);
turns this is OpenSourceCode to this is Open Source Code

Another great solution, Robin, thanks. I've learned a LOT from this thread.

Re: [PHP] Separating words based on capital letter
Note: several of the folks used / as the delimiter. Actually, it can be almost anything that will not be in the
$string. Generally, I use % simply because it's easier to spot when I forget the delimiters.
Also, note Robin's use of the metachar [[:upper:]]. metacharacters can very useful. My favorites are [:punct:] and
[:space:]

You could do this with one regular expression, but if you really want to
avoid them here is a 'pure PHP' way:
?php
$test = 'HomeNetworkTestThing';
$az = range('A','Z');
$output = $test[0];
for ($i = 1; $i strlen($test); $i++)
{
if (in_array($test[$i], $az))
{
$output .= {$test[$i]};
}
else
{
$output .= $test[$i];
}
}
echo $output;
?

Rich

Or just.. preg_replace('/\B[A-Z]/', ' $0', 'FooBarBaz')

Re: [PHP] Separating words based on capital letter
Thanks, all for the suggestions. Richard, that code is a masterpeice. I have no problems with regexs, though, only with the regex that I wasn't doing properly. Roman, I'm still picking your code apart and trying to understand everything. I see I'll be learning quite a bit from that. Arpad, I'll try your code soon. As it seems to be the shortest, it would suggest that it is most maintainable as well and I'd like to use it. Thanks, everybody.

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

Don't mean to be pedantic, but you left out the '/. . ./':
$string = $string = ltrim(preg_replace('/([A-D])/', \\1, $string));

I wasn't tuling it out, I meant that _my_ regex wasn't getting me very
far. Sorry for the confusion.
