Re: What is the use of "unicode.semantics" in PHP 6?

One final question.. should I assume while converting code "unicode.semantics" is on or off? If its on I would be making sure everything is properly casted to binary strings where this is needed, if it's off the focus would be on making sure the application runs on both PHP5 and PHP6.. What makes the most sense here? I would personally say I would try it assuming its off, as this is the most likely for the development teams to target for .. Evert Andi Gutmans wrote:

I think the sooner the better as it's valuable information for the dev team. It'd probably be a good idea to have a Wiki where we can document issues that/common use-cases which are encountered. Maybe we should have a Wiki on one of the php.net servers for such purposes? Andi

What I really think we need to do for this release, which       
we haven't     
been good at doing in the past, is build a PHP Compatibility Team which tries to port many applications to PHP 6 and finds       
the issues in     
doing this port (both with unicode_semantics=on/off). We can then learn from this experience and have good documentation on how to upgrade to both modes and in some cases, like we have done       
in the past     
2-3 weeks, tweak PHP 6 to not break backwards compatibility. It is possible in many cases.
        
I'd volunteer for this. Does it help you guys to get started with this today, or should I be waiting till there's more agreement on some of this stuff..
