Many people would be confused from documentation statement "[] was marked as deprecated in 4.0.6 - 5.1 but then suddenly {} was deprecated instead and removed in 6.0" and many scripts would refuse to work due to this. > 4.9 Make parameter order consistent over all functions Others talked probably about: str_replace(needle, replace, haystack) - compare with e.g. SQL REPLACE(haystack, needle, replace) ereg(pattern, haystack) etc. But I am also against changing the parameters order. > 4.10 Minor function changes: microtime() You showed that the most common usage of this function without parameters remain working (with E_NOTICE) but what's with other usages? Gain from this change is really minimal but cause that some code working in PHP 4 will not work in PHP 6 without ugly hacks. Jakub Vrana
