Subject: Tests - and a question
From: zoe.slattery@googlemail.com (Zoe Slattery)

Hi all

We added a few tests for array, string and variable handling functions 
at the weekend. As always - any feedback will be welcome.

One thing we had some difficulty with was keeping the test output small 
enough to be easily read. We chose to divide up tests like this:

   test_name_b.phpt    b=basic function
   test_name_v.phpt    v=variation
   test_name_e.phpt    e=error cases
   test_name_o.phpt    o=object specific

This may not be the right scheme and I'm happy to change it if anyone 
has better suggestions, although it is useful to seperate out the error 
case tests because quite a lot of the differences between php5 and php6 
seem to be in the exact form of the error message. Using this doesn't 
completely solve the problem anyway - I think some of the "v" tests will 
will end up being test_name_v1, test_name_v2 etc.


Thanks, Zoe
