Bug #25745 Character type functions fail on negative chars
Submitted: 2003-10-03 11:41 UTC Modified: 2003-10-03 12:13 UTC

Status: Closed Package: *Languages/Translation
PHP Version: 4.3.2 OS: Solaris 8 (SPARC)
Private report: No CVE-ID: None

Description:
------------
The upper half of the codes are badly reported, e.g
ctype_alpha("?") returns true even under C locale.

As a workaround one may call ctype_alpha(ord("?")),
which works correctly.

Alternatively, the following patch fixes that:

below I list character type functions for
easing bug searches

ctype_alnum ctype_alpha ctype_cntrl ctype_digit
ctype_graph ctype_lower ctype_print ctype_punct
ctype_space ctype_upper ctype_xdigit 

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
        $ctype_funcs = array(
        "alnum", "alpha", "cntrl", "digit",
        "graph", "lower", "print", "punct",
        "space", "upper", "xdigit");
        
        $failed = 0;

        reset($ctype_funcs);
        while ($name = current($ctype_funcs)) {
                $test = "\$failed += (
                        (ctype_$name(%d) ? 1 : 0) !=
                        (ctype_$name(chr(%d)) ? 1 : 0)
		) ? 1 : 0;";
                for ($i = 0; $i < 256; ++$i)
                        eval(sprintf($test, $i, $i));
                next($ctype_funcs);
        }
        print "$failed";
?>

Expected result:
----------------
0

Actual result:
--------------
817

I got 817 compiling with gcc 3.2 on sun sparc solaris8,
depending on the __ctype table, results may vary.
