Hello,
So Andrei asked me to upgrade the zlib extension, but I have a few questions
I would like to discuss with you:
* when receiving an unicode string, what should we do? compress with as-is,
prepend a BOM header (and skip it while uncompressing)? (now I'm unsure if
PHP/ICU uses utf16 in the machine endianess or not)
* when uncompressing, check for a BOM header and return a unicode string if
it is present? return always a binary string?
I also have another question, but unrelated with the zlib extension, that is
what is a binary string in PHP 6? I think there were some changes on that
part (and there isn't the IS_BINARY by now) and I don't really now the
difference between a binary string and the old string (aka runtime_encode'd
string)
I hope my questions are clear and make sense,
Nuno
