Right, and now bring Unicode into the picture and this becomes even more true.
-Rasmus I know there's always RTFM, but if you would care to discuss it, I would like to know why. How does php handle Unicode code-points and char-sets? Thanks. tedd From what little I understand (and I could be wrong - been a while)- it doesn't. PHP < 6 works in bytes unless you have the mb extension going and then it fakes it. it doesn't look for code points or charsets.
