note 105687 deleted from function.ctype-alnum by danbrown

Note Submitter: daniel dot rhodes at warpasylum dot co dot uk ---- I'm using PHP 5.3.5 and, for me at least, there seems to be an important caveat with this function. The current system locale *is* being honoured, but Unicode (or at least UTF-8) is not giving the expected results. Thus: <?php //note script file itself its UTF-8 $utf8_string = 'jérômecaractèresdelachaîne'; $iso_string = iconv('UTF-8', 'ISO-8859-1', $utf8_string); //or: //$iso_string = mb_convert_encoding($utf8_string, 'ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8'); setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR.utf8'); var_dump(nl_langinfo(CODESET)); //gives UTF-8 var_dump(ctype_alnum($utf8_string)); //gives FALSE setlocale(LC_ALL, 'fr_FR'); var_dump(nl_langinfo(CODESET)); //gives ISO-8859-1 var_dump(ctype_alnum($iso_string)); //gives TRUE ?>
