PHP Character Functions

The functions provided by this extension check whether a character or string falls into a certain character class according to the current locale.
When called with an integer argument these functions behave exactly like their C counterparts from ctype.h

Installation:

Beginning with PHP 4.2.0 these functions are enabled by default. For older versions you have to configure and compile PHP with --enable-ctype. You can disable ctype support with --disable-ctype.
Builtin support for ctype is available with PHP 4.3.0.

Runtime Configuration:

This extension has no configuration directives defined in php.ini.
