    $test1="aAbCcP*";
    $test="ZabCBc*";
    $i=0;
    $a=[];
    $final_string="";
    while(!empty($test[$i])){ 
        if(ctype_upper($test[$i])){
            $final_string=$test[$i];
            array_push($a,$final_string);
        }
        $i++;
  }
  $first = reset($a);
$last = end($a);

  echo  $first. $last;
