regex - How to tell if a string contains characters in Hebrew using PHP?

Question

Trying to figure out how to tell whether a string contains any characters in Hebrew with no luck.

How can this be done?

Answer 1

If the source string is UTF-8 encoded, then the simpler approach would be using p{Hebrew} in the regex.

The call also should have the /u modifier.

 = preg_match("/p{Hebrew}/u", $string)
