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.
$window->border('.', '~', 'l', '$');
?>
