Re: Ctype and PHP 6

This question came up while I was heading to the Airport with Sara Golemon. The ctype libraries are based on some underlying libraries that handle the checks, but don't handle unicode. There will be a new library that does ctype_* like functionality, under a new name. We can't simply make the ctype_ libraries use the new code, as it would break BC (under php 6 ctype_alpha() would return true on some text, whereas php 5 would return false). So ctype is dead, but we get a replacement. paul This
