This function shows its usefulness on a web site where a user is asked to entered a hexidecimal color code for a color. To prevent breaking W3C standard and having them enter in "neon-green" or the wrong type of code like 355511235.
In conjunction with strlen() you could create a function like this:
function check_valid_colorhex($colorCode) {
// If user accidentally passed along the # sign, strip it off
$colorCode = ltrim($colorCode, '#');
if (
ctype_xdigit($colorCode) &&
(strlen($colorCode) == 6 || strlen($colorCode) == 3))
return true;
else return false;
}
ctype_xdigit

Checks if all of the characters in the provided string,
text, are hexadecimal 'digits'.

text -
The tested string.
반환값

예제
Example #1 A ctype_xdigit() example
<?php
$strings = array('AB10BC99', 'AR1012', 'ab12bc99');
foreach ($strings as $testcase) {
if (ctype_xdigit($testcase)) {
echo "The string $testcase consists of all hexadecimal digits.\n";
} else {
echo "The string $testcase does not consist of all hexadecimal digits.\n";
}
}
?>
위 예제의 출력:
The string AB10BC99 consists of all hexadecimal digits. The string AR1012 does not consist of all hexadecimal digits. The string ab12bc99 consists of all hexadecimal digits.
주의
Note:
-128이상 255이하의 integer를 지정할 경우, 한 문자의 ASCII 값으로 해석합니다. (음수는 256이 더해져 확장 ASCII 영역의 문자가 됩니다) 그 외의 정수는 그 정수를 표현하는 10진 문자열로 해석합니다.

this can be used with great results if you wanna check for something like
"Tobias2" whether there is a number at the end of the string. (F.e. courselist with coursenames etc.)
Just substring the last char and put it in the function.
We should be glad about every possibility to cut out these damn regexes from our code. NEVER USE REGEX
