PHP | IntlChar enumCharTypes() Function

The IntlChar::enumCharTypes() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to give a catalog of all the code points with their Unicode general categories. All the cataloging happens very efficiently of all the code points. For enumerating all the assigned code points and building data structures etc, this will be very useful. The callback function is called for each code points of a contiguous range with a given general category and the character type. Adjacent ranges could have different types. The guarantee that the numeric value of the type will be 0 to 31 is guaranteed by the Unicode Standard.

Syntax:

void IntlChar::enumCharTypes( $callback )

Parameters: This function accepts single parameter $callback. For each contiguous range of code points with the same general category, the function will be called. The callback function contains three parameters which are listed below:

• integer $start: It is the starting code point.
• integer $end: It is the ending code point.
• integer $name: The category type (one of the IntlChar::CHAR_CATEGORY_* constants)

Return Values: This function does not return any value.
