Description:
------------
ctype_digit returns 1 (TRUE) for an empty string (I do not mean a blank character) however it must return false (NULL) because empty string means there is no digit. 

Reproduce code:
---------------
$number="";
print ctype_digit($number)."*";
$number=" ";
print ctype_digit($number)."*";
$number="1";
print ctype_digit($number);

Expected result:
----------------
**1

Actual result:
--------------
1**1

What are you talking about?

# php -r 'var_dump(ctype_digit(""));'
bool(false)
# php -r 'var_dump(ctype_digit(" "));'
bool(false)
# php -r 'var_dump(ctype_digit("1"));'
bool(true)

Hello, 
you must try your code under windows to understand what I mean
here is the results of your codes when I run them under windows


C:\php5>php -r var_dump(ctype_digit('23423'));
bool(true)

C:\php5>php -r var_dump(ctype_digit(''));
bool(true)

C:\php5>php -r var_dump(ctype_digit('sdf345'));
bool(false)

As you see in second one it returned true, however it must return false.

What PHP version are you using?
(Somehow I doubt it's really 5.2.2).
