PHP 4.0 Bug #5222 Updated: hebrev/hebrevc dont work properly

ID: 5222 Updated by: sniper Reported By: miki@canaan.co.il Old-Status: Suspended Status: Closed Bug Type: *Languages/Translation Assigned To: Comments: The fribidi extension is now included in PHP 4.0.4pl1. --Jani Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-07-26 11:33:11] waldschrott@php.net there´s no focus on this work now I think, so it´ll be suspended until sb assigns it... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-07-26 10:33:52] stas@php.net Well, in fact these functions never were intended to work in 100% of cases. They need serious rework (maybe with connection to something like Fribidi library or analogue). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-07-26 01:48:30] waldschrott@php.net I fear it will (not tested), but lease verify that it´s still happening using the latest version of PHP (release 4.0.1pl2 or CVS). --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-06-25 14:16:50] miki@canaan.co.il Hi The function hebrev (and its companion hebrevc) don't work perfectly ,when I try to convert a string that ends with english letter the letter goes to the start and don't stay in the end as it need to. I wonder if it will be more easy to embed the free software freebidi which work very well. http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/freesw/FriBidi/ If there is something that I can help to advance this implant please let me know as I think the the hebrew/arabic cultures need the functions working properly and as the function don't work properly many choose the asap :-( For better PHP in the future :-) --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=5222
