Hi,

I just want to make sure this is in fact true:
http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=24687

So does this mean we can all remove our php5 compatibility hacks that relate
to the above bug report? I would hate to have to reapply all of those ugly
php5 compatibility hacks I had to add after removing then now that the bug
appears to be fixed.

Regards,
Lukas Smith
