Since ICU supports many conversions, including gb18030, and is regularly updated and is already a part of php, it makes no sense to include individually written conversions. ICU also gets considerable testing and review.
Conversions should all be driven through icu. -----Original Message----- From: Moriyoshi Koizumi [mailto:m...@mozo.jp] Sent: Sunday, January 31, 2010 11:29 PM To: KITAZAKI Shigeru Cc: php-i...@lists.php.net; internals@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP-I18N] adding GB18030 support for mbstring Kitazaki-san, First thank you for your effort. But, I am under the impression that the conversion table looks too huge to include in a distribution (>30MB). Is there any way to get this more compressed? BTW, I created an extension that is near-compatible with mbstring and based on ICU that of course supports GB18030. See http://github.com/moriyoshi/mbstring-ng for detail.
