function toCamelCase( $string )
{
    return  str_replace( ' ' , '', ucwords( strtolower( strtr($string, '_',
' ') ) ));
}

echo toCamelCase( 'this_is_not_properly_written' );


You can use this simplest function to translate a string to camelCase.

The process could be...
1) parse by PHP
2) translate tokens to camelCase
3) writte the file with changes

You can easily parse a php file using http://php.net/token_get_all
