|
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 <function>setlocale</function>).

</para>

<para>
|
|
When called with an integer argument these functions
|
|
behave exactly like their C counterparts from
|
|
<filename>ctype.h</filename>.
|
|
It means that if you pass an integer smaller than 256 it will use the
|
|
ASCII value of it to see if it fits in the specified range (digits are in
|
|
0x30-0x39). If the number is between -128 and -1 inclusive then 256 will
|
|
be added and the check will be done on that.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
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. When called with an empty string
|
|
the result will always be &true; in PHP < 5.1 and &false; since 5.1.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Passing anything else but a string or integer will
|
|
return &false; immediately.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
It should be noted that ctype functions are always preferred over
|
|
regular expressions, and even to some equivalent str_* and is_* functions.
|
|
This is because of the fact that ctype uses a native C library and thus
|
|
processes significantly faster.
