Moreover, we do have such an extension, it's called "mbstring" and you can use it even in PHP4. But the point is that it's _just an extension_, hence the Unicode support is far far from full.Why couldn't mbstring be upgraded to offer "full" Unicode support? -- ----- Richard Quadling Zend Certified Engineer : http://zend.com/zce.php?c=ZEND002498&r=213474731 "Standing on the shoulders of some very clever giants!"
