I don't know... But I can't think of any reason for doing this that can't be solved by using a changeToUpperCase(word) function. If not, I'd like to hear what your reason is.

Hey, Can anyone explain to me a way to create a function that allows me to get every single combination of case and numbers represneting letters of a word? Example, I enter the word 'hello' (all lower case) into the function, it should output: Hello HEllo HELlo HELLo HELLO Hell0 HEll0 HELl0 HELL0 hEllo heLlo helLo hellO and so on xD |

have a function that takes in a character, and returns an array of alternatives
Then run though the length of the string recursivly |

this is a terrible mix of C,C++, and PHP, and pseudocode function f(string x) { for each variation of x[0] echo x[0].f(x.substr(1)); } |

ok, heres a tip to help you. $var = "Hello" $var{1} is equal to 'H' I belive, i don't have access to my files right now but i think thats how you access a single char in a string. |

I'm sure if I thought about it for a while, I could write a function to do it, but if I may ask: why would you want something to do this? |

A thought would be something like an offensive words filter.There are easier solutions to that; such as making each word lowercase and comparing to a loercase lsit of offensive words. This sounds like either homework or just fooling around learning the language. |

Indeed, but it would be something interesting to code. |
