What is wrong with PHP 5.1? People don't *have* to upgrade to the unicode enabled PHP if they don't want to. And it would probably be "nice" to have that mode for some users, but should that be over our own back with multiple implementations of everything? regards, Derick -- Derick Rethans http://derickrethans.nl | http://ez.no | http://xdebug.org -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
