This is the mirror I'm using - http://www.php.net/manual/en/language.types.string.php Dunno if it's up to date or not. IMO, if you stated in the past that only certain characters are being escaped *while others are not*, you shouldn't change this in the future (even by making changes in the documentation), because it breaks existing code. Moreover, you still can't use "\f" or "\v" sequences in your code, even if you want them to generate FF and VT symbols. Even PHP 5.2.4 treats them in a different way, leaving alone older versions of PHP. If you want to write code that will be compatible with different versions (which is important nowadays), you can't use these sequences at all. And again, why adding them in the first place? Who needs FF or VT on a regular basis in their applications? Regards, Serge -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
