Testing out CakePHP's Inflector magic

Want to know what the inflector is going to do to your code, what the name of your model should be when you have a wierd table name? Just enter it in here and look at what cake will generate.

This is currently running on CakePHP

The output is what has happend for that particular method, and the other items in the array are the inflicted version being convered to other types. eg pluralizing user becomes users and then camelizing users becomes Users. You can find problems with your table names and classes doing this for example if you were to use a table called this cake would expect the model Thi by default.

When ever you pluralize something and then singularize it it should be the same. The following should generally give you the output true, if it does not you need to use some custom rules or use another name.

var_dump(Inflector::singularize(Inflector::pluralize($var)) === var_dump($var))

Enter the text to inflect
