As I told tony in IRC, I don't care if the behavior gets changed back to 5.2 style, although I don't think this is a BC we need to worry about keeping. I'll lay money that NOONE is relying on this, and I challenge any of you to prove me wrong on that count.
How much money? ;) Anyway, if nobody really cares for that, more the reason to leave it alone. If it ain't broken, you know.
If y'all do want maxcharsminusone behavior for the argument, fine, but rename the arg to something else. maxchars means "I want this many characters or less", not "I want one less than this many characters{or less}".
Call it "limit" if you care for that. Limit can mean anything :) -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Products Engineer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zend.com/ -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
