Question

I have a string, for example FastFood, how do I remove Food and leave only first word? Also it could be VeryFastFood, then Very should be left, etc.

Some strings may containt 3 uppercase starting letters. I need then only this 3 letters to be left. for example YOUProblem – must be YOU.

Here is a function that can do it for you as well:

function removeUppercase($word){
   if(ctype_upper(substr($word,0,3))) //Check for first 3 uppercase and return those
       return substr($word,0,3);
   for($a=1;$a<strlen($word);$a++){ //Otherwise loop through letters until uppercase is found
      if(ctype_upper($word[$a]))
         return substr($word,0,$a);
   }
   return $word;
}
