Ex : setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr');

This does not work with MacOSX, LC_ALL neither.
Locale can be found in /usr/share/locale/, they are installed by default.

Use 'fr_FR', since there is no:
/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_CTYPE.

LC_ALL doesn't work at all on Mac OSX, as far as I can tell (not only in PHP, but in C also).

/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.ISO8859-1 has LC_CTYPE.

Apparently, it is possible to use at least LC_CTYPE, 
ht://dig does it [1]

But this code won't work:

setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR.ISO8859-1');
// or setlocale(LC_CTYPE, 'fr_FR');
$words = $nonwords = '';
for ($i=0; $i < 255; $i++) {
	if (ctype_alnum(chr($i))) {
		$words .= chr($i);
	} else {
		$nonwords .= chr($i);
	}
}

It behaves like 'C' locale.
