ctype_print
Description
The ctype_print of Ctype for PHP checks for printable character(s).
Syntax
ctype_print(
mixed $text
): boolParameters
text
The tested string.
NOTE: If an integer between -128 and 255 inclusive is provided, it is interpreted as the ASCII value of a single character (negative values have 256 added in order to allow characters in the Extended ASCII range). Any other integer is interpreted as a string containing the decimal digits of the integer.
Return
Returns true if every character in text will actually create output (including blanks). Returns false if text contains control characters or characters that do not have any output or control function at all.
When called with an empty string the result will always be false.
