Missing ctype extension causes critical error

[canny[bot]]

Many large hosting companies don't have the ctype extension enabled for PHP 7.4

The fix is to add: "extension=ctype.so" to the bottom of PHP.ini file. The code that appears in line 652 of Str.php – this line:

if (! ctype_lower($value)) {

$value = preg_replace(‘/\s+/u’, ”, ucwords($value));

The Str facade is the only place that we directly call ctype_lower, but ctype_digit is used by multiple endpoint controllers.

Symfony has a set of polyfills for PHP backwards compatibility that we could you, such as the Polyfill Ctype Component.
