Re: PHP Unicode extension in PHP6

I'm also having problems with this b"string" incompatibility with older versions, I know I shouldn't need to have binary strings, but the problem is, the PHP funcions does not accept an Unicode string (urlencode), so it gives me a warning. In the future will 100% of the functions accept an unicode string? If so, then to me this should not be a problem. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tomas Kuliavas" <tokul@users.sourceforge.net> To: "Jared Williams" <jared.williams1@ntlworld.com> Cc: <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 2:52 PM Subject: RE: [PHP-DEV] PHP Unicode extension in PHP6

Recent versions of PHP5, has a binary string introducer. echo strlen(b"\xC4\x85");

I have already said to Stefan. It is not an option. I need backwards compatibility. If older PHP versions fail with E_PARSE errors, I can't use it. I can't maintain two different library versions, because issue affect lots of functions. Currently I can only stop script execution, if unicode.semantics=on is detected. Main complain is the fact that scripts can't control mbstring.func_overload and unicode.semantics. Only script writters know, if their code depends on overloading or unicode syntax. End users might be unable to change settings in PHP_INI_PERDIR.
