Below examples illustrate the IntlChar::ord() Function in PHP:
Example 1: In this example, we will use the ord() function.
<?php // PHP function to illustrate // the use of IntlChar::ord() // Input int codepoint value var_dump(IntlChar::ord( "4" ));
// Input character codepoint value var_dump(IntlChar::ord( "B" ));
// Input character codepoint value var_dump(IntlChar::ord( "b" ));

?> |
Output:
int(52) int(66) int(98) NULL NULL int(64) int(42) int(32)
Example 2: In this example, we will use the ord() function.
<?php // PHP function to illustrate the // use of IntlChar::ord() // Declare an array with // different codepoint value $arr = array ( "X" ,
"x" ,
"*" ,
"8" ,
"0" ,
" " ,
"&" ,
")" ,
"99" ,
);
// For loop condition to check // each character through function foreach ( $arr as $val ) {
// Check each element as code point data
var_dump(IntlChar::ord( $val ));
} ?> |
Output:
int(88) int(120) int(42) int(56) int(48) int(32) int(38) int(41) NULL
