I think it is a bit premature to declare the death of Unicode in PHP. Yes, we know there are problems, and yes, it was harder that initially thought, so we may want to take a step back and rethink it. Also we may want to get Unicode out of the way of other PHP development, since it's taking longer than planned. But that doesn't mean we should bury it. -- Stanislav Malyshev, Zend Software Architect stas@zend.com http://www.zend.com/ (408)253-8829 MSN: stas@zend.com
