some usefull PHP functions

String manipulation functions in any programming language are the most commonly used functions by developers. So, I have decided to give few functions that might be useful for you as PHP developer.

bool ctype_alpha(mixed c) checks if the string contains only alphabetical characters

Example

ctype_alpha("WE2007") returns false because it alphanumeric
ctype_alpha("HELLO") returns True because it contains alphabetical charchaters only

bool ctype_digit(mixed c) checks if the string is valid number

Example

ctype_digit("RF334") returns false
ctype_digit("1533") returns True

bool ctype_xdigit(mixed c) checks if the string is valid hexadecimal number

Example

ctype_xdigit("RFJHFA3") returns false
ctype_xdigit("15BF") returns True

Note : that valid Hex numbers are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F

All of the above functions supported by PHP version 4.0.4 or higher

What function can be used to read text from a file and display it inline on an HTML page?

PseudoKnight

You could do a simple include in some cases.

include 'file.txt';

It depends on the formatting of the content in the text file and how you want to display. You may need to read the file, process the content, and then display the result. That could be something simple like this to use proper line breaks:

$var1 = file('file.txt');
$var2 = implode('', $var);
print nl2br($var2);

... or numerous other possibilities depending on your needs.
