Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=65785&edit=1 ID: 65785 Comment by: dsxack at gmail dot com Reported by: sasezaki at gmail dot com Summary: mbstring.func_overload should be depreciated. Status: Open Type: Feature/Change Request Package: mbstring related Operating System: any PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: mbstring.func_overload - a feature that prevents the development of eco-system php. Due to the fact that the popular vendors decide to support the expansion of mbstring and feature mbstring.func_overload or not - many products are incompatible. Simfony requires mbstring.func_overload disabled features in all its products (https://github.com/sensiolabs/SensioDistributionBundle/issues/169), while others may require the inclusion (for example - the most popular CMS in Russia - Bitrix). Because of this library simfony cease to be compatible with the products Bitrix. I believe that mbstring.func_overload - this is one of the most horrible things that have at the moment in PHP.
