 * Hi I recently installed 2.9 and am getting this error everytime I try to upload
   a picture.
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_digit()
 * What can I do?
 * Sincerely,
 * Antoine Zammit

 * Start with the basics: disable all of your plugins and try to upload a picture
   again. Do you still get the error after that? If no, re-enable your plugins until
   the error comes back. That will be the problem plugin.

 * Hi,
 * Upgrade your wordpress version to the latest version which will resolve your 
   issue.

 * no luck,
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_digit() in /MYFILEPATH/wp-admin/
   includes/file.php on line 238
 * is there a way to rollback to the previous version of WordPress?
 * Is anybody else having the problem, I did not have any problems until I installed
   2.9

 * your php probably doesn’t have the ctype module installed:
 * # php -r ‘print ctype_digit(1234);’
 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function ctype_digit() in Command line code on
   line 1
 * that one-liner should instead return:
 * # php -r ‘print ctype_digit(1234);’
    1
 * I use FreeBSD, so to fix it all I did was:
 * cd /usr/ports/textproc/php5-ctype
    make install
 * You probably do not use FreeBSD, so you’ll have to figure out how to install 
   the php ctype module for your O/S.

 * This was fixed in vs. 2.9.1 released today.
