As the patch produces UTF16-BE output/input, would it be "legal" to call another PHP function (iconv) within PHP or is it not allowed to depend on another "PHP" function? One could easily add an iconv call at the end of the functions to get the output format right. Or even add an optional paramater for the imap_utf7_decode function to specify the desired output format, "UTF8" as default. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-14 11:01:09] gamid at isayev dot net Ok, let fix imap_utf7_encode()/imap_utf7_decode() functions to return UTF-8. In this case they will be BC, when IMAP folder has only ISO-8859-1 (ASCII) characters in its name and will also support international characters. Gamid Isayev ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-11-14 10:28:43] kalowsky@php.net From my understanding Gamid's patches break BC. This is a bad thing typically, and repeated requests for users to voice an opinion have not resulted in any feedback. At this point I feel that the IMAP maintainer should decide if this goes in or not, but he has not answered any emails either. So until I hear back from the IMAP maintainer I don't see this being applied. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
