// Hebrew
var_dump(is_rtl('חופש למען פלסטין')); // 1

// Latin
var_dump(is_rtl('Hello, World!')); // 0

// both
var_dump(is_rtl('سلام من فارسی بیشتری دارم hello')); // 0.8 (There is 80% chance of RTL string)
var_dump(is_rtl('سلام helo')); // 0.5  (both have same RTL and LTR characters, There is 50% chance of RTL string)

Please note that you have division by zero if a number is passed as $string. Try passing '12345' for example.
You easily fix by changing line 17 to:
$ltr_chars_pattern = '/[a-zA-Z0-9_!@#$%^&*?()+-<>"]/';

@atyachin you missed some special char .. semicolon (;), colon(:)
