Example #1 A ctype_print() example
<?php
$strings = array('string1' => "asdf\n\r\t", 'string2' => 'arf12', 'string3' => 'LKA#@%.54');
foreach ($strings as $name => $testcase) {
if (ctype_print($testcase)) {
echo "The string '$name' consists of all printable characters.\n";
} else {
echo "The string '$name' does not consist of all printable characters.\n";
}
