Doc #70806 [NEW]: Cannot determine if mbstring is required in PHP 7

From: gulliver dot m dot smtih at gmail dot com Operating system: PHP version: 7.0.0RC5 Package: Documentation problem Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Cannot determine if mbstring is required in PHP 7 Description: ------------ --- From manual page: http://www.php.net/mbstring.requirements --- There are some articles saying that PHP 7 is going to multibyte support, but none of the PHP 7 documentation on the documentation site talks about the implications when upgrading. Also, it seems that mbstring should no longer be needed. How are the encoding changing functions affected? If we need to work at the byte level, how is this done? -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=70806&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=70806&r=mysqlcfg
