symfony/polyfill-ctype

This system is a PHP polyfill library designed to provide the ctype extension functionality for environments where it is missing or incompatible. It ensures backward compatibility by offering dedicated bootstrap files for different PHP versions and robustly handling mixed input types. The project manages its dependencies and metadata through Composer, explicitly declaring its provision of the ext-ctype extension.

The Ctype polyfill now provides a dedicated bootstrap for PHP 8.0 and later (bootstrap80.php) to ensure correct behavior on newer versions, while the legacy bootstrap (bootstrap.php) has been updated to check for individual function existence rather than the extension being loaded, ensuring all ctype functions are polyfilled even if the extension is partially available. The underlying Ctype implementation class has been refined to handle mixed input types more robustly by explicitly checking for strings and non-empty values before regex matching, and documentation links have been updated to the canonical php.net domain.

(repo-wide) · high confidence

The composer.json manifest has been updated to require PHP 7.2 or higher (previously 5.3.3), added a 'provide' declaration for the ext-ctype extension, and included a 'suggest' for ext-ctype for best performance. The author list was updated to include Gert de Pagter and the Symfony Community, and the 'extra' section now includes 'thanks' metadata pointing to the main polyfill repository.
