Checks if all of the characters in the provided string, text
, are lowercase letters.
text
The tested string.
Note:
If an int 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.
Returns true
if every character in text
is a lowercase letter in the current locale.
Example #1 A ctype_lower() example (using the default locale)
<?php $strings = array('aac123', 'qiutoas', 'QASsdks'); foreach ($strings as $testcase) { if (ctype_lower($testcase)) { echo "The string $testcase consists of all lowercase letters.\n"; } else { echo "The string $testcase does not consist of all lowercase letters.\n"; } } ?>
The above example will output:
The string aac123 does not consist of all lowercase letters. The string qiutoas consists of all lowercase letters. The string QASsdks does not consist of all lowercase letters.
