Re: [EXTERNAL] Need help to convert a name in upper case, to mixed case

Installing Python is, as Jack has noted, a little easier than PHP - using it subsequently frankly not quite so easy simply because it is the new boy in town and linking to it from RPG programs not as well documented.

But both have a learning curve. I'm hoping to be writing more on this soon but right now folks like Alan Seiden are the best ones to study for information about integrating these language into your apps.

I would ignore node for now unless someone has a translation of the PHP routine. Translating to python should be reasonably simple (perhaps Jack or one of the Pythonites here will volunteer to do it.) but I suspect node might be more problematic.

You could have your RPG call the routine as a local web service which should perform pretty well.

I wrote an Intro to PHP for RPGers and can send you a copy if you email me direct. Not aware of anything fo Python yet.

Unless you already have plans to use PHP for other things, I think you are much better off trying Python or Node.js. I say this only because Python and Node.js are so much easier to install and get up and running. It is so ridiculously easy and quick that even if you try them and hate them, you can still investigate PHP without having lost anything. But more likely, you will find Python or Node.js meets your needs and then some.
