yes ages ago, i was suprised when i know most the oo/scripting string didn't have a good implement even on: $string1 += $string2; they do not modify on $string1 directly $big_string_dst = string_function($big_string_src) is ok but.. $big_string = string_function($big_string) is a waste of space > If a copy of the string is truly needed, then the "makeCopy()" method is > just for that. You can do "$myStr->trim()" to do in-line trimming or > "$trimmedStr = $myStr->makeCopy()->trim()" to preserve the original value. but why not just call it StringBuilder? $str->build() to produce a native php string if needed. modify normal string in place isn't the spirit of scripting any way. this name get it into pecl more easy imho.
