Check and modify Capitalized letters in string - php

Question

I'm trying to figure out how to make this code work.
I input some text via variable into code:
$genome = "ss/ee/ff/Nn/oo";
$gepieces = explode("/", $genome);
$fenome = "ss/Ee/ff/nn/oo";
$fepieces = explode("/", $fenome);
You will see that for the Genome there is a Nn and for the Fenome there is a Ee
Upon this happening I need it to give a 50/50 chance for a compared result to be EITHER Ee OR Nn - The code I have right now can only check them individually (so sometimes I ger Ee AND Nn, other times I will get ee and nn) and I feel there could be a much easier method of achieving this than what I'm trying:
//Number of Cubs
$cubs = rand(1,4);
//GENDER
for ($x = 0; $x < $cubs; $x++) {
$gender = rand(1,2);
if ($gender == 1) {
$cubgender = "Male";
} elseif ($gender == 2) {
$cubgender = "Female";
}
//COAT COLOR
$genome = "ss/ee/ff/Nn/oo/Pa/Sr/So";
$gepieces = explode("/", $genome);
$fenome = "ss/Ee/ff/nn/oo/Pa";
$fepieces = explode("/", $fenome);
if ($gepieces[0] === $fepieces[0]) {
$ss = $gepieces[0];
} else {
$ss = rand(1,2);
if ($ss == 1) {
$ss = $gepieces[0];
} else {
$ss = $fepieces[0];
}
}
if ($gepieces[1] === $fepieces[1]) {
$ee = $gepieces[1];
} else {
$ee = rand(1,2);
if ($ee == 1) {
$ee = $gepieces[1];
} else {
$ee = $fepieces[1];
}
}
if ($gepieces[2] === $fepieces[2]) {
$ff = $gepieces[2];
} else {
$ff = rand(1,2);
if ($ff == 1) {
$ff = $gepieces[2];
} else {
$ff = $fepieces[2];
}
}
if ($gepieces[3] === $fepieces[3]) {
$nn = $gepieces[3];
} else {
$nn = rand(1,2);
if ($nn == 1) {
$nn = $gepieces[3];
} else {
$nn = $fepieces[3];
}
}
if ($gepieces[4] === $fepieces[4]) {
$oo = $gepieces[4];
} else {
$oo = rand(1,2);
if ($oo == 1) {
$oo = $gepieces[4];
} else {
$oo = $fepieces[4];
}
}
echo $cubgender." - ".$ss."/".$ee."/".$ff."/".$nn."/".$oo."<br/>";
}

Answer 1

I'm a colossal idiot!
Figured out my own issue
//Number of Cubs
$cubs = rand(1,4);
//GENDER
for ($x = 0; $x < $cubs; $x++) {
$gender = rand(1,2);
if ($gender == 1) {
$cubgender = "Male";
} elseif ($gender == 2) {
$cubgender = "Female";
}
//COAT COLOR
$genome = "ss/ee/ff/Nn/oo";
$gepieces = explode("/", $genome);
$fenome = "ss/Ee/ff/nn/oo";
$fepieces = explode("/", $fenome);
if ($genome === $fenome) {
$cubgeno = $genome;
} else {
$cubgeno = rand(1,2);
if ($cubgeno == 1) {
$cubgeno = $genome;
} else {
$cubgeno = $fenome;
}
}
echo $cubgender." - ".$cubgeno."<br/>";

Answer 2

$genome = "ss/ee/ff/Nn/oo/Pa/Sr/So";
$gepieces = explode("/", $genome);
$fenome = "ss/Ee/ff/nn/oo/Pa";
$fepieces = explode("/", $fenome);
$sequence = "";
for ($i = 0;$i < count($fepieces); $i++) {
rand(1,2) == 1 ? $sequence .= $gepieces[$i] : $sequence .= $fepieces[$i];
}
echo $sequence;
