Re: Proposal: ext/idn (GNU Libidn)

Hi, any other opinions except the license thing, which is now PHP License 3.0 or can I apply for an PECL-Account? And if it's okay: Which category to choose? I18N imho sounds good for it, but other ideas are welcome ;-) johannes I wrote myself: > His Majesty, King Wez of PECL, > Ladies and Gentlemen, > Guys, > > I've written a small PHP Extension which uses GNU Libidn[1] for converting > domainnames from UTF-8 encoding to ASCII compatible Punycode, like it is > used for the DNS.
