Rather than focusing on how they relate to Classic ASP, a better approach might be to look at how proposed functions would fit with other things in PHP, and how widely used they would be. There are lots of languages we can borrow ideas from, but the goal should be to pick the best bits and adapt them as needed. Some of these are quite easy to do in PHP - for instance, left() and right() are simple with substr(); and str_place() sounds exactly like strpos() from the name. It looks like there is a family of functions related to "words" (presumably splitting on space?); perhaps there is a core set that would make the others easier? Finally, remember that a lot of people reading this have never used Classic ASP, so don't know what these functions do. Some are easy to guess, but others less so, such as is_contraction(), is_givenName(), space(), and str_case_normalize() Regards, -- Rowan Tommins [IMSoP]
