Since there is nothing in this which needs any changes to the core then surly it simply needs to exist in pecl until such time as a proper replacement for unicode in core strings has been addressed? Since it will still require intl to provide those areas it does not support, and I question if we really need to provide yet another encoding converter. A unicode string handler that just handles UTF8 strings may be yet another stepping stone, but it still falls short of beings able to handle all of the internationalization problems and is simply an alternate to mbstring so one either runs both, or sit down and convert all the third party libraries to eliminate mbstring. Like http extension, it's not essential that it's loaded by default, and leaving it in pecl allows development outside that of the core? -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- Contact - http://lsces.co.uk/wiki/?page=contact L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://lsces.co.uk EnquirySolve - http://enquirysolve.com/ Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://medw.co.uk Rainbow Digital Media - http://rainbowdigitalmedia.co.uk -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
