That's my suggestion. Officially deprecate it, but don't add E_DEPRECATED to it in 5.5. Update the documentation, and start a PR campaign to get off

This may be a narrow PR channel, but I'd focus on getting @deprecated into the built-in function stubs in all the IDEs. In PhpStorm I see lines through the function name, and there's a deprecation section in the "Inspect Code" report. I'm much more likely to notice those than notice changes in online docs or error log notices. But more importantly, anyone writing *new* code will see that feedback immediately.

The same should work with Eclipse and PDT or PHPEclipse. If the documentation is suitably marked then any usage will flag up the situation ... educate rather than penalise? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk
