You seem to have totally missed the points that are being made:

1) The test you ran on your system (this is the code that Sal asked you
to run) gave a correct result for the test case you specified.
Specifically it returned boolean value FALSE for an is_numeric() test of
the string value "x11.11c".

2) The code that you posted here as a specific example of failing code
was obviously not the code that is actually failing, because it was
syntatically broken php. Specifically it had a terminating ";" outside of
the braces "{}" that enclosed the print statement following the test
condition in the if clause.

At the moment, the only "evidence" for the problem is your original
assertion, which is not supported by the specific test case that Sal
asked you to execute, and which was based on the exact error that you
originally asserted.

Yes we would like to help you solve the problem, but so far, you have not
shown any evidence that the problem is any sort of bug in is_numeric. If
anything, the test case that Sal gave you proves that on your machine,
under the conditions that you specified, is_numeric is working properly.

The conclusion is that the case that's causing what you perceive to be an
error condition isn't the case that you originally or subsequently
stated, and unless you tell us what the actual code is that causes what
you perceive to be an error, there's very little we can do to help.

My suspicion is that although for some reason you think the string value
"x11.11c" is being passed to the test function is_numeric, some other
value is actually being passed.
