Re: HEAD == PHP 7 (Was: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP6, Unicode for language functions, classes,methods, vars names)

I don't think that's feasible as it makes development even harder. I don't think Unicode support is that far off. Most of the core work is done. The more people can help with upgrading the functions the better... I'm off for the weekend.... Might find some Internet connection at some point. Andi At 02:02 AM 9/16/2005, Jani Taskinen wrote:

Regarding spring cleaning, I suggest to relax a bit. I don't think it should be done before PHP 6 (nor did others including Rasmus suggest that), and I am

    Like you said, the unicode PHP version is not gonna be released for a quite

    before that and not wait another 2 years for that.

    The other option is to fork PHP of course. Or maintain my own version
    of it, but both of those are not gonna be good for PHP in the long run.
