Hello all, as most of you know we have been accepted in the Google
Summer of Code for a refactory of a framework using PHP6. As I
mentionned one of the main goals of this is to help with the
development of PHP6 and testing.

So here I go, what are the features and tests that YOU would like to
see reported ? I am currently building a list of things that we have
to test and I am wondering which are the parts you consider the most
important and the most bogus/untested perhaps.

Thanks,

David

There's absolutely new code for output handlers, torture it.

Text processing incl. compression, DB access, XML handling 
might be good candidates to test, too.

Yep, perhaps I should add the list of what I have that we need to test:

- cookies (setting, reading, etc)
- sessions (setting, reading, destroying, etc)
- XML Handling (SimpleXML, DOMDocument, XMLReader, XMLWriter)
- Database Accessibility (PDO, et al)
- output buffering, handling
- perhaps namespaces if it ever gets in head anytime soon)
- SPL (ArrayAccess, Iterator, IteratorIterator, DirectoryIterator, etc...)
- array handling in general
- general 64 bit capabilities
- Iteration over multi-dimensional arrays
- goto/jump *grumble*
- Real static bindings
- and of course APC in the core... seeing how it reacts with unicode
(I know it's not done yet..(apc -> unicode)
