Hi!
support for Unicode string manipulation, but it would actually be better a bit if they supported arbitrary encoding as arguments.
There's no such thing as "encoding" in PHP 6 - all strings are Unicode. If you've got binary data in some encoding, I think the recommended way for PHP 6 would be to convert it to Unicode string and then apply the string functions. I know that probably would mean some slowdown but I understand that's how PHP 6 is supposed to work. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
