So from *MY* point of view unicode_semantics=on is creating a THIRD case to have to manage? PLEASE can someone take charge and at least get PHP6 moving forward to a stable alpha so that we have something users can be happy to test against!

I think the reason why people are reluctant to "take charge" here is just because of this setting.

And as a result nothing is happening :( Do we need to set up some formal vote on this quite basic feature which was - I thought - the whole basis that PHP6 was being built on? Or do we have to wait another 5 years for PHP6 :( Working with Unicode does require a different mindset, and THEN overloading it by requiring complete compatibility with a non-unicode model is adding a level of complexity that has resulted in the current stalemate? I was ready to run with Unicode/PHP6 two years ago and run all the database data Unicode as well, but at present things seem to be in limbo all around? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://home.lsces.co.uk/lsces/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk// Firebird - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php
