Your code was broken - it gave the following error:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}', expecting ',' or ';' in /
home/denis/programming/php/is_num_test.php on line 4

This is probably because you had ";" outside of "{}", but it does
indicate that the code you included in the post *CAN NOT* have been an
exact copy / paste of your working code!

You have also proved, by running a specific test on your computer as Sal
asked you to, that _your_ computer actually returns FALSE when testing
is_numeric('x11.11c')

So, the question remains, what is it in your code that is causing you to
get an unexpected result?
