Re: Changing implementation of get_meta_tags for 4.0.5

Well maybe we can have a function with another name? or pass an optional second argument? I'm not that sure it's a good thing to break backwards compatibility on this one although I admit not knowing how many people actually use it. My guess is that if it's been in a couple of versions of PHP 4 there are at least a couple of dozen if not more using it. Andi At 11:34 PM 2/13/2001 +0100, André Langhorst wrote:

This will break backwards compatibility, and I am not really in favor of adding a new param to get_meta_tags in order to include this new functionality, that will just obfuscate the code more than it needs to be. I think we should just change one implementation, to another, better one. I can't imagine that that many people are using this tag often enough to require a huge change in their code.

following your description, that function is really broeken (lack of functionality) and thus needs a non-backwards-compatible fix, your fix sounds nice indeed this function is not widespreadly used I guess 2c --
