Hi Rowan,Unfortunately I can't post all the code here by the mailing list cause
the message size limit.Kamil should has received by mistake a couple of sents
with the code, my tries.
Here however the code for str_place:
declare('PHP_TILDE', "~");function str_place(string $string, string $needle):
string
{
if (mb_stripos(PHP_TILDE . $string, $needle)) {
return PHP_STR;
} else {
return $needle;
}
}
Forgive also my typing, the subject is mostly about *simplication* also if
undubtly Im talking of Classic ASP too.The problem that here arise is exatly
this philosophic matter: how much easy is easiest? I like the easiest, I don't
need to show my reputation to write down a complicate "left".. the countrary is
true..In facts Im exactly pointing out that Classic Asp was doing all those
stuff easier, maybe withoutneed for the developer to memorize covulsive date
time parameters, or add one more parameter to do call a "left"function, maybe
nested..

Rather than focusing on how they relate to Classic ASP, a better approach might
be to look at how proposed functions would fit with other things in PHP, and
how widely used they would be. There are lots of languages we can borrow ideas
from, but the goal should be to pick the best bits and adapt them as needed.
Some of these are quite easy to do in PHP - for instance, left() and right()
are simple with substr(); and str_place() sounds exactly like strpos() from the
name.
It looks like there is a family of functions related to "words" (presumably
splitting on space?); perhaps there is a core set that would make the others
easier?
Finally, remember that a lot of people reading this have never used Classic
ASP, so don't know what these functions do. Some are easy to guess, but others
less so, such as is_contraction(), is_givenName(), space(), and
str_case_normalize()
