ctype_punct
A function I wrote last night was fairly flexible in terms of detecting whitespace, and even took into account the pesky non-breaking spaces / zero-width spaces further up the Unicode alphabet.
The benefit here was being able to isolate and identify specific Unicode indices based on their subrange.
<?php
// Returns TRUE if the ASCII value of $string matches a registered whitespace character.
// * This includes non-breaking spaces, zero-width spaces, and any unicode values below 32.
// * $string: Character to identify. If string extends past one character, the value
// is truncated and only the initial character is examined.
function is_whitespace($string){
// Return FALSE if passed an empty string.
if($string == "") return FALSE;
$char = ord($string);
// Control Characters
if($char < 33) return TRUE;
if($char > 8191 && $char < 8208) return TRUE;
if($char > 8231 && $char < 8240) return TRUE;
// Additional Characters
switch($char){
case 160: // Non-Breaking Space
case 8287: // Medium Mathematical Space
return TRUE;
break;
}
return FALSE;
}
?>
ctype_space
(PHP 4 >= 4.0.4, PHP 5)
ctype_space — 空白文字かどうか調べる
説明
bool ctype_space
( string $text
)
与えられた文字列 text のすべての文字が 空白文字であるかどうかを調べます。
パラメータ
- text
-
調べる文字列。
返り値
text のすべての文字がなんらかの空白文字を 生成する場合に TRUE 、そうでない場合に FALSE を返します。 空白文字には、タブ・垂直タブ・改行・復帰・フォームフィード文字も 含まれます。
例
例1 ctype_space() の例
<?php
$strings = array('string1' => "\n\r\t", 'string2' => "\narf12", 'string3' => '\n\r\t');
foreach ($strings as $name => $testcase) {
if (ctype_space($testcase)) {
echo "The string '$name' consists of all whitespace characters.\n";
} else {
echo "The string '$name' does not consist of all whitespace characters.\n";
}
}
?>
上の例の出力は以下となります。
The string 'string1' consists of all whitespace characters. The string 'string2' does not consist of all whitespace characters. The string 'string3' does not consist of all whitespace characters.

The contradiction bellow brutaly forced me to do some testing.
ctype_space(""), as well as ctype_space(NULL), returns false
ctype_space(), returns NULL, with a warning
