PHP Explode by Uppercase letter?

im having this problem...i wonder if any of you have any ideas how to solve it?

I have to seperate Lesson Name, Teacher name and Classroom.

Progr.al.Janek ManderÕ 405 Arv.võr.Tom KülaotsÕ 205

Progr.al. is Lesson name, Janek Mander is Teacher name and Õ 405 is Classroom. Arv.võr. is Lesson name, Tom KÜlaots is Teacher name and Õ 205 is Classroom.

I have to seperate them so i can identify them...probably into array

info[0] = "Progr.al."
info[1] = "Janek Mander"
info[2] = "Õ 405"

Now i have this idea...if i can detect uppercase letter and replace that string with and #{uppercaseletter} then i could explode it...Õ 405 i can explode by Õ as an every classroom has an Õ before them.

Well Progrl.al.Janek ManderÕ 405...there are only three uppercase letters...and teachers first name has always the second uppercase letter...is there any way i could use that to my advatage or do i have to rewrite dom script?

Whole code so far...

Tricky, but I would do it this way: (inside of for loop)

for ( $counter = 0; $counter <= 9; $counter += 1)
{
    $phrase  = $cols->item($counter);

    $breaklines = $phrase->getElementsByTagName('br');
    if($breaklines->length == 2)
    {
        $br = array();
        for($i=0;$i<2;$i++)
        {
            $br[$i] = $breaklines->item($i);
        }
        //Don't try to put this two for-loops into one.
        for($i=0;$i<2;$i++)
        {
            $phrase->replaceChild($dom->createTextNode('|'), $br[$i]);
        }

        print_r(explode('|',$phrase->nodeValue)) . PHP_EOL;
    }
}

I think that if you have a some clear pattern of your input data you could approach a better solution using regular expressions.
