Examples

<?php
$strings 
= array('AKLWC139''LMNSDO''akwSKWsm');
foreach (
$strings as $testcase) {
    if (
ctype_upper($testcase)) {
        echo 
"The string $testcase consists of all uppercase letters.\n";
    } else {
        echo 
"The string $testcase does not consist of all uppercase letters.\n";
