Documentation shouldn't say it's equivalent to regex matching when it
really isn't..docs need update, the function is fine as is.

Description:
------------
ctype_alnum returns false if you pass it an integer (ie 7). I know the
docs say that it should receive a string, as all ctype_* functions
should, but I believe it's pointless to have to do a ctype_alnum( '' .
$var ) at every call just to be sure. Also, the docs say that the
function is equivalent to preg_match('/^[a-z0-9]+$/iD', $text) and
matching 7 against that expression will work.
Reproduce code:
---------------
var_dump( ctype_alnum( 7 ) );
Expected result:
----------------
bool(true)
Actual result:
--------------
bool(false)
