    Note that this function is looking for the ordinal value of a character - you must pass integers, not actual characters.

    For the sake of 'ease of use', I use this in my ncurses Window class:

    <?php
    public function border($left = '|', $top = '-', $right = '|', $bottom = '-', $tlCorner = '+', $trCorner = '+', $brCorner = '+', $blCorner = '+')
    {
            ncurses_wborder($this->window, ord($left), ord($right), ord($top), ord($bottom), ord($tlCorner), ord($trCorner), ord($blCorner), ord($brCorner));
    }
    ?>

    This allows you to do something like the following:
    <?php
    // Border the window with some weird stuff.
    $window->border('.', '~', 'l', '$');
    ?>
