Req #62450 [Com]: Remove gzgetss and see if anyone notices

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62450&edit=1 ID: 62450 Comment by: tero dot tasanen at gmail dot com Reported by: turnip@php.net Summary: Remove gzgetss and see if anyone notices Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: *General Issues PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I must say +1 for this.. even this not a bug, this function is just totally pointless. @johannes the koders.com search shows that this function has been used in one actual code file and koders.com covers just about every open source project in the word. (and not to mention that in the line the behavior of this function might actually result in unwanted results since it strips the html tags :D) So I think that it fair to say that this function is not needed by anyone, it's pointless and can safely be removed in future php versions. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-06 10:19:04] johannes@php.net A typo in a manual page is no reason for a function be removed. and a quick check shows people are using it: http://koders.com/default.aspx?s=gzgetss&submit=Search&la=PHP&li=* First hit: http://koders.com/php/fid5AEBF8DE39EB1BCA59AC00E6C0960369CC4FDD85.aspx?s=gzgetss#L72 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-06-29 14:36:28] turnip@php.net Description: ------------ This function (http://php.net/manual/en/function.gzgetss.php) has literally never been used by anyone, ever. Besides the fact that it's worthless, no-one has noticed the error ("striped") on the doc page. We should completely remove the function and see if anyone notices. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62450&edit=1
