Considering that (I hope/think) most developers have moved to UTF-8 for
their encoding, how useful is it to have a separate (and
not-comptible-with-PCRE) regular expression engine still?
I don't know how much oniguruma adds on top of PCRE, but PCRE also has
had significant improvements for UTF-8 encoded strings since we first
added mbstring/mbregex.
Wouldn't a replacement for:
mb_regex_encoding($fromEncoding);
mb_ereg_match($pattern, $string);
be:
pcre_match($patern, iconv($fromEncoding, 'UTF-8', $string));
cheers,
