#40522 [Csd->Opn]: PATCH: reword encoding param note in mb-strrpos

ID: 40522 User updated by: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Reported By: danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com -Status: Closed +Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem PHP Version: Irrelevant New Comment: There is no such term as "back compatibility" in computer parlance. The term is "backward compatibility" or "backwards compatibility": Google Hits phpdoc grep back: 71,100 1* backward: 1,130,000 7 backwards: 1,160,000 8 * Your entry. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-25 10:50:23] dmytton@php.net I don't feel the change "back" to "backward" is necessary. If you wish to submit a patch that rewords it differently but that is more concise than your original patch, that'd be great. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-25 04:39:27] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Hi David: Please switch "back" to "backward" in the phrase "for back compatibility". In addition, I feel the reworded explanation that got committed is just juggling around the old explanation. While this is clearer, it's not crystal clear. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-24 21:10:08] dmytton@php.net Your description in the patch was a little too verbose so I have reworded it myself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-02-17 18:16:59] danielc at analysisandsolutions dot com Description: ------------ The note for the encoding parameter in the mb-strrpos documentation is ambiguous to me. It can be mistakenly interpreted as meaning that the parameter was added in 5.2 when in reality it's behavior was modified. http://www.analysisandsolutions.com/php/mb-strrpos.encoding.explanation.diff ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=40522&edit=1
