Request decoding is one of a few remaining pieces of the Unicode puzzle. The proposed
solution was outlined in a blog post [1] I wrote a while back. There has been no movement
on this front pretty much since then, but now that 5.3 is wrapping up I want to put some
momentum behind PHP 6. Towards that, I have been working on a patch that implements the
request decoding functionality. The patch [2] and the notes [3] are linked to below. This
is not a final effort by any means, but I believe the patch is solid and the rest can be
done in a similar manner. Right now, it implements only $_POST, $_GET, $_FILES, and
$_REQUEST decoding. Deciding how to handle $_COOKIES is the next step, which is mentioned
in the notes. Please take a look and comment.
