Hi Eduardo Carrasco,
Although this question isn't really related to sugar more like a Programming question I found it interesting. (coz I personally never thought of this)
I'm not sure what is your intention here but I've tested some stuff that probably can give you idea to wrap a function using combination of it.
<?php $is_arabic = preg_match('/\p{Arabic}/u', " sadfdasf أنطونيو أسيفيدو"); echo "is_arabic: ".var_export($is_arabic, true); echo PHP_EOL; $is_not_arabic = preg_match('/\p{Arabic}/u', "sadfdasf"); echo "is_not_arabic: ".var_export($is_not_arabic, true); echo PHP_EOL; $is_numeric_arabic = preg_match('/^\p{N}+$/u', "١٢٣٤٥" /*Arabic numerals for "12345"*/); echo "is_numeric_arabic: ".var_export($is_numeric_arabic, true); echo PHP_EOL; $is_not_numeric_arabic = preg_match('/^\p{N}+$/u', "أنطونيو أسيفيدو"); echo "is_not_numeric_arabic: ".var_export($is_not_numeric_arabic, true);
