[regex] camelCase to normal text

[LazyManc]

I need to convert a string in camel case to normal text, i.e.

"thisIsAString" to "this is a string"

using PHP and preg_replace but I'm stumped, any ideas?

$text = "thisIsAString";

$text = unCamelize($text);

function unCamelize($text)
{
  $pattern = '([A-Z])';
  $replace = '$1';
  $text = strtolower(preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $text));
  
  return $text;
}
