This should rather be asked on the i18n mailing list if not on php-general. But as you already asked: > I've got an application that processes both textual and binary data.

I won't use overloading at all but call the mbstring functions directly where appropriate and the "original" string function else. Please respond to one of the above mentioned lists.
