If $a ('x11.11c') is numeric then it would return 'ok' but it is not so
it returns 'not ok'. 'x11.11c' is not hexadecimal, it lacks the leading
'0' and contains a decimal/period.

php > $tests =
array("42",1337,"0xf4c3b00c","x11.11c","0x11.11c","0x1111c","0b1010 ",
" 101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 01010101010 ");
php > foreach ($tests as $a) { if(is_numeric($a)) { echo "$a is
numeric".PHP_EOL; } else { echo "$a is not numeric".PHP_EOL; } }
42 is numeric
1337 is numeric
0xf4c3b00c is numeric
x11.11c is not numeric
0x11.11c is not numeric
0x1111c is numeric
0b1010 is not numeric
101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101010101 01010101010
is numeric

From what I can tell from the source code (of PHP) there is no code
to handle binary strings as explained in the function definition at
php.net. But I guess by definition it can only be 0's and 1's as seen
above.
