#50017 [NEW]: Nomenclature ltrim/rtrim semantically incorrect, ignores RTL writing systems!

From: stefan at digitalekunst dot ac dot at Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: Nomenclature ltrim/rtrim semantically incorrect, ignores RTL writing systems! Description: ------------ I have posted a comment at: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.ltrim.php#68677 It was removed! Why? My content did not contradict the rules. I guess it was removed because I critisiced the naming convention of ltrim/rtrim, and agreed with "Usamah M dot Ali". 1) I did not save a copy of the comment on my computer. Is there a versioning system of the documentation comments, which can restore my comment? I would like to have it for myself please, and as the original source for discussing the issue! 2) I would like a serious explanation, why it was removed. 3) I would like to stimulate a discussion, about what I criticized. I think that cultural ignorance/unawareness is simply not a good mindset for a globalized co-operation project such as PHP. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=50017&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=50017&r=mysqlcfg
