PHP




<?php
// PHP function to illustrate the
// use of IntlChar::isJavaIDStart()
    
// Input string codepoint value with
// Capital and small letter
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("R"));
 
// Input string codepoint value with small character
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("r"));
 
// Input control character codepoint value
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("\n"));
   
// Input string codepoint value
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("Bug"));
    
// Input int codepoint value
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("3 "));
  
// Input int char an identifier
// of codepoint value
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart("\u{007F}"));
   
// Input symbolic codepoint value
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart(" @ "));
var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart(" $ "));
  
?>

bool(true)
bool(true)
bool(false)
NULL
NULL
bool(false)
NULL

Program 2:

PHP




<?php
// PHP function to illustrate the
// use of IntlChar::isJavaIDStart()
  
// Declare an array with
// different codepoint value
$arr = array("C",
             " ",
             "\n",
             " #",
             "\t",
             "Code",
        );
    
// For loop condition to check
// each character through function
foreach ($arr as $val) {
        
    // Check each element as code point data
    var_dump(IntlChar::isJavaIDStart($val));
}
?>


Output: 

bool(true)
