Re: Fwd: [SMARTY] Smarty and Unicode

Yes, but what I was referring to in my email to Marcus was that if the variable contents you need to modify were UTF-8 strings you might get very strange results since php regex will treat that utf-8 string like an ASCII one. That issue has made me turn my back on PHP until version 6, where it'll be solved -I hope, unless zend gets a new stupid idea again and decides to put the effort in adding better support for .net, or anythin' like that- On 3/1/06, messju mohr <messju@lammfellpuschen.de> wrote: > > On Wed, Mar 01, 2006 at 09:12:44AM +0100, Vicente Werner wrote: > > ---------- Forwarded message ---------- > > From: Vicente Werner <vwerner@gmail.com> > > Date: Mar 1, 2006 9:06 AM > > Subject: Re: [SMARTY] Smarty and Unicode > > To: messju mohr <messju@lammfellpuschen.de> > > > > Regex's in PHP5.x or lower don't work correctly for UTF-8 strings, it > does > > match correctly ascii chars, but not UTF-8 ones (despite claiming > support > > for it..) it won't be ready and fully useable until PHP-6. > > correct. but the smarty syntax is ascii and not utf-8. the regexes > correctly match the stuff inside {} and correctly ignore the stuff > outside {}. > > > On 2/28/06, messju mohr <messju@lammfellpuschen.de> wrote: > > > > > > On Tue, Feb 28, 2006 at 06:07:32PM +0000, Marcus Bointon wrote: > > > > On 28 Feb 2006, at 17:57, Vicente Werner wrote: > > > > > > > > >Regex don't even work, so if you're goin' to use regular > > > > >expressions, you're out of luck for non latin languages > > > > > > > > So given that it apparently does work, is it therefore true that the > > > > Smarty compiler and all standard plugins are regex-free? > > > > > > no. first of all: all plugins that care about encoding (like > > > capitalize, lower or truncate) may not (or very likely won't) work. > > > > > > regearding regexes: i don't see a problem why an ascii reges shouldn't > > > match on utf-input. if you stick to ascii with with your variable > > > names and identifiers, then utf-8 templates should be transparent to > > > smarty. > > > > > > > Marcus > > > > -- > > > > Marcus Bointon > > > > Synchromedia Limited: Putting you in the picture > > > > marcus@synchromedia.co.uk | > > > > http://www.synchromedia.co.uk > > > > > > > > -- > > > > Smarty General Mailing List (http://smarty.php.net/) > > > > To unsubscribe, visit: > > > > http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > Vicente Werner y Sánchez > > > > > > -- > > Vicente Werner y Sánchez > > > -- Vicente Werner y Sánchez
