Hi!
I've just noticed that the PHP manual contains the documentation of
PECL/idn[1], but that it has been disabled due to conflicting function
names (idn_to_ascii and idn_to_utf8 are used by ext/intl)[2]. However,
because version.xml is still there (and not disabled) the documentation
of these functions has duplicate and confusing version information[3].
Of course, the proper solution would be to rename ext/intl's
idn_to_ascii and idn_to_utf8, but that is obviously impossible for BC
reasons.
I'm not sure about the status of PECL/idn, however. Its developement
may have been ceased (did it, Johannes?), and if so, we may consider to
actually remove the documentation from the PHP manual. Otherwise it
might be an option to tag the PECL/idn functions with an additional idn_
prefix, so that there are no more conflicts.
Thoughts?
