And even more annoying is the fact ext/intl invents its own error reporting completely. It silently fails and error message retrieval is left as exercise for the user, exactly the opposite of what _all_ other extensions do. Furthermore many of these messages are wrong, as they hardcode the function name to the message (see php_intl_idn_to() f.e.), rather then using the normal way of populating error messages. -Hannes
