Character type functionsctype
&reftitle.intro;
The functions provided by this extension check whether a character
or string falls into a certain character class according to the
current locale (see also setlocale).
When called with an integer argument these functions
behave exactly like their C counterparts from "ctype.h".
When called with a string argument they will check
every character in the string and will only return
&true; if every character in the string matches the
requested criteria.
Passing anything else but a string or integer will
return &false; immediately.
&reftitle.required;
None besides functions from the standard C library which are
always available.
&reftitle.install;
Beginning with PHP 4.2.0 these functions are enabled by default.
For older versions you have to configure and compile PHP
with .
