As I a PHP developer on Windows, I pay very close attention to development work on PHP and regularly test my code against PHP 5.3, hand-built from the CVS. Nearly all of the PECL extensions are broken on Windows for PHP 6. The http extension has a very nasty problem: its fatal error appears to loop nearly ad infinitum. This makes compiling snaps locally very difficult--I've given up. Why is the log file 4.4 MB long? Also, as stands it appears most non-trivial applications are fairly broken. Those issues need to be resolved first, before we toss Unicode onto the pile. -- Edward Z. Yang GnuPG: 0x869C48DA HTML Purifier Anti-XSS Filter [[ 3FA8 E9A9 7385 B691 A6FC B3CB A933 BE7D 869C 48DA ]]
