Re: Status of Multibyte support in PHP

It was just a blanket search. As for bug 29518, I think it is worth fixing at some point in time. You could conceivable build a multilingual site where your "language pack" files were an ini file of key=translated text, and you loaded them at run time. A lot of projects use a PHP file with a php array, but the ini file approach could be used as just a tad bit friendlier for translators. In any case, not a big deal...
