Is there some PHP-centric documentation about Unicode? Why we need it? How we use it? Pitfalls. Best practise in determining if data is unicode or a hack attempt, etc.
So far, I've not needed unicode. But with the amount of effort being placed into getting PHP unicode compliant, it suggests that it is something important and I should know about it. Regards, Richard Quadling. On 11/11/06, Rasmus Lerdorf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

A lot of functions in PHP 6 are able to take both binary and Unicode strings and act differently when they are passed different types. I think this is going to be the biggest source of confusion for people migrating to PHP 6 and as such I think it is a good idea to get this cast in as soon as possible to people can start to make their code PHP 6 safe. I am hoping that a typical PHP 5 application will only need a couple of binary casts to run perfectly under PHP 6 in Unicode mode. Allowing that same code to run unchanged in PHP 5 makes a lot of sense. -Rasmus -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
