[PHP4BETA] More On PREG/EREG/PCRE

As I see it we have two discussions in one: - which naming should be used - which default behaviour should be used as far as we are now - would the following be a solution: having three sets of *reg: oreg_match | oreg_replace |--> doing it the old way oreg_split | preg_match | preg_replace |--> doing it the perl way preg_split | ereg_match | aliasing to whatever was ereg_replace |--> chosen to be default at ereg_split | compile time ereg an alias to ereg_match split an alias to ereg_split This make it possible for ISPs to have a smooth transition from the old to the new behaviour - providing both functionalities. There will be a time where scripts can get fixed from ereg_* to oreg_* still providing the new functionality under preg_*. At one point they can make a switch and from then on ereg_* will behave like perl. Would this be a way to go? Boris -- PHP 4 Beta
