Re: PHP Unicode extension in PHP6

For my purposes, this is ok. Will it be added to 4.x too? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrei Zmievski" <andrei@gravitonic.com> To: "Tomas Kuliavas" <tokul@users.sourceforge.net> Cc: "Jared Williams" <jared.williams1@ntlworld.com>; <internals@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2007 8:43 PM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP Unicode extension in PHP6

The 'b' prefix is available in PHP 5.2, exactly for this purpose. It just doesn't do anything. -Andrei On May 22, 2007, at 10:52 AM, Tomas Kuliavas wrote:

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.
