There are no other accepted proposals for extending the set of string functions, apart from making some string methods also available as static methods on the string class (since they are generic anyhow). > My questions: What string functions have been discussed?

Not likely at this date, but you can always try. > Have the printf/sprintf been considered for inclusion? Similar functions have been considered, and rejected. Curiously, I can't find writeups of the rejected proposals now. (Don't know what you would do with printf() since there's no stdout.) > If so, > with named parameters as in Python (which I do miss in PHP)? > > The functions I personally miss the most are: > - ucfirst > - number_format > - sha1 > - levenshtein Presumably one of the formatting functions on Number will suit you for number_format; the others are probably out of the question. > As well as ltrim and rtrim, but I see that they are being > discussed on the wiki.
