Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/function.ctype-alnum#refsect1-function.ctype-
alnum-description
---

ctype_alnum() regex must be [a-zA-Z0-9] instead of [A-Za-z]

Consider to change description line to:

"Checks if all of the characters in the provided string, text, are alphanumeric. 
In the standard C locale letters are just [a-zA-Z0-9]."

Expected result:
----------------
[a-zA-Z0-9]

Actual result:
--------------
[A-Za-z]

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.

Thanks :)
