ctype_space — Check for whitespace character(s)
$text
)
Checks if all of the characters in the provided string,
text, creates whitespace.
text
The tested string.
Returns TRUE if every character in text
creates some sort of white space, FALSE otherwise. Besides the
blank character this also includes tab, vertical tab, line feed,
carriage return and form feed characters.
Example #1 A ctype_space() example
<?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";
}
}
?>
以上例程会输出：
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.
Note:
如果给出一个 -128 到 255 之间(含)的整数, 将会被解释为该值对应的ASCII字符 (负值将加上 256 以支持扩展ASCII字符). 其它整数将会被解释为该值对应的十进制字符串.

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;
}
?>
