PHP: ALL IN CAPITALS

Posted: Sat Feb 15, 2003 5:49 pm (21 years, 2 months ago)

How can I detect if more then 50% of a string has been written in capitals?
I want to prevent excessive capitals in my chat room.

Something with regular expressions would be my first approach -- then compare the size of the two strings.

Does this help??

Code:

<?php

$str_to_test = 'HELlo;

$no_caps = preg_replace('/[A-Z]/', '', $str_to_test);

if((strlen($str_to_test) / 2) > strlen($no_caps)) {

echo 'over half caps';

} else {

echo 'half or less caps';

}

?>
