PHP 5.3 appears (to me at least) ready for release, give or take a bit of ironing. Win32 mail() doesn't. That's 'a bit of ironing'. The point of the post was: So can we focus on 6 for a bit please? Like, make it Unicode-only and iron out the BC issues arising from that as far as is possib

[PHP-DEV] Alternative to multiple namespaces per file

Hi, I suppose this has been discussed before, so I'll not repeat reasons unless requested, but I just want to offer a possible feature to mitigate the impact of "one namespace per file", which doesn't have controversial syntax and hopefully less difficulties in the implementation: class Fully

Hi, The community wanted namespaces. This is not exactly the namespaces it wanted, but since they're going in, I think the best course of action is to solve the big obvious problems so they are at least usable and extendable in future versions of PHP. If you have to ask *me* personally, I'd no
