palindrome using recursive

[pavani2006]

i can write a palindrome pro but i dont to write using recursive function can any body help
and to check whether a palindrome can fotmed from a given string?
j=0,k=0;
while((j<strlen(str)-1)/2)
{
if(str[j]!=str[strlen(str)-1-j])
{
k=1;
break;
}
j++;
}
if(k==0)
printf("palindrome")
else
printf(not a palindrome");

Just one of many ways of doing it:

/*
 * isPalindrome.c
 *
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <ctype.h>

int isPalindrome( char *str, int length )
{
   
   if ( length < 1 )
   {
      return 1; /* no more chars to compare, its a palindrome */
   }

   if ( str[0] == str[length-1] )            /* Are the two ends same? */
   {
      return isPalindrome( str+1, length-2 ); /* continue checking */
   }
   else
   {
      return 0;      /* comparison failed, not a palindrome */
   }
}

void strToUpper( char *src )
{
   /* convet to upper case any letter */
   while( ( *src = toupper( *src ) ) != '\0' )
   {
      ++src;
   }
}

int main( void )
{
   int result = 0;
   char str[40] = { '\0' };
   
   fputs( "Enter text: ", stdout );
   fflush( stdout );
   
   fgets( str, sizeof str, stdin );
   strToUpper( str );   /* make all letters the same for comparison */
   result = isPalindrome( str, ( strlen( str ) - 1 ) ); /* recursive starts here */
   
   if( result == 1 )
   {
      puts( "Its a palindrome string." );
   }
   else
   {
      puts( "Its not a palindrome string." );
   }
      
   getchar();
   return 0;

 }

/* input: Sator Arepo Tenet Opera Rotas */
/* output: Its a palindrome string. */

This code is not case sensitive. But it doesn't check for puntuation marks nor spaces.

I'm sure your intentions are good but don't post the complete solutions.

pavani2006,
Even when thekashyap feels that this is a complete solution, I don't want you to think it is. In order to work properly every time, you need to apply a filter that will eliminate spaces, punctuation marks, and basically anything that is not a letter.
The function strToUpper() shows you an example of something like that.
