It works if you set the locale correctly:
<?php
setLocale(LC_CTYPE, 'FR_fr.UTF-8');
?>
with this change you will get "yes" "yes"
ctype_alpha
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
ctype_alpha — Check for alphabetic character(s)
說明
bool ctype_alpha
( string
$text
)
Checks if all of the characters in the provided string,
text, are alphabetic.
In the standard C locale letters are just
[A-Za-z] and ctype_alpha() is
equivalent to (ctype_upper($text) || ctype_lower($text))
if $text is just a single character, but other languages have letters that
are considered neither upper nor lower case.
參數
-
text -
The tested string.
回傳值
Returns TRUE if every character in text is
a letter from the current locale, FALSE otherwise.
範例
Example #1 A ctype_alpha() example (using the default locale)
<?php
$strings = array('KjgWZC', 'arf12');
foreach ($strings as $testcase) {
if (ctype_alpha($testcase)) {
echo "The string $testcase consists of all letters.\n";
} else {
echo "The string $testcase does not consist of all letters.\n";
}
}
?>
上例將輸出：
The string KjgWZC consists of all letters. The string arf12 does not consist of all letters.
註釋
Note:
如果給出一個 -128 到 255 之間(含)的整數, 將會被解釋為該值對應的ASCII字元 (負值將加上 256 以支援擴展ASCII字元)。 其它整數將會被解釋為該值對應的十進位字串.
