Yeah. We tried it, and it simply didn't pan out (performance, bc, lost interest, ..). As long as we provide the developers with necessary tools to support it, there shouldn't be any problem. Those who want to be blissfully unaware of unicode, can. Those who want to invest time in making sure their application can handle it, can. -Hannes -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
