Hi all!
I am preparing a Server Side Scripting (using PHP) course for the Web
Standards Project Interact[1]. As I am going through security
considerations I note that the ctype functions are being used in the
manual[2] and have not been deprecated in 5.3. I have, however, been
told that they are not, nor ever will be, Unicode compatible.[3]
If that indeed is the case:
A. Should they not be deprecated formally, including giving an
appropriate error when used? (Yes, that will give some people, like me,
lots of errors. But I rather take them now than have my code blow up on
me in the future.)
B. Should not the the manual be telling people about these functions
being non-future proof?
