Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_Compat-1.0.0 (stable) Released.

Hey Klaus, I fixed the spelling mistake, whoops. When I brought up adding random useful functions to PHPC, the idea was smacked down. If you want to bring it up again on the mailing lists we can see if opinions have changed... I know I have a ton of useful functions to add. Specifically regarding the in_array_nocase function. I'd be calling it in_iarray to be inline with str_ireplace etc. Secondly, is it worth compromising consistancy for an insanely small difference in speed? Do you think it would be worth posting to internals@ to have the function implemented in C? PHP_FUNCTION(in_iarray) { php_search_array(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAM_PASSTHRU, 2); } Then: static void php_search_array(INTERNAL_FUNCTION_PARAMETERS, int behavior) + elseif (behavior == 2) { etc.. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Klaus Guenther" <klaus@capitalfocus.org> To: "PEAR Announce" <pear-dev@lists.php.net>; "Aidan Lister" <aidan@php.net> Sent: Friday, June 11, 2004 10:14 PM Subject: Re: [PEAR] [ANNOUNCEMENT] PHP_Compat-1.0.0 (stable) Released. > PEAR Announce wrote: > > >The new PEAR package PHP_Compat-1.0.0 (stable) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. > > > >Release notes > >------------- > >Added more components: > >* array_change_key_case > >* array_chunk > >* array_diff_assoc > >* vprintf > >* vsprintf > >* var_export > > > >Fixed behaviour of stripos/strripos.
