Description:
------------
http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.ctype-cntrl.php

The description for this function has an 'e.g.' list of control characters. This list should be terminated with the latin abbreviation 'etc' but instead reads 'esc'. Especially in this context this is very confusing. In fact maybe 'escape' is what was meant here. This statement should probably be written more clearly.

Reproduce code:
---------------
N/A

Expected result:
----------------
N/A

Actual result:
--------------
N/A

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.

esc really stands for escape here.
