We have to find the balance between meeting the stability requirements for the customers who are perfectly happy with the featureset in PHP 4.x and don't want anything to change, the folks who want the simpler XML handling, SOAP and stronger OO in PHP 5 and then the group that need full Unicode support yesterday. I'd be happy with that if the same people who claim to be happy with PHP4 did not complain when code I've produced for PHP5 and provide open sourced does not run for them - even given that most of the Firebird stuff was never back ported to PHP4 anyway! (Which is why I've never used PHP4 in production either)
We have a proposed roadmap for PHP 6 in terms of features and changes. There are no dates on that roadmap because frankly that is impossible to do in a project like this. That is one I am following with interest, and I have a large archive of unicode data ready to apply to the results :) But *PLEASE* can we have windows builds to play with from time to time ;) Some of us still do not have the tools to build one ourselves :(-- Lester Caine ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services Treasurer - Firebird Foundation Inc.
