You may want to ask that in php-dev mailing list because last time that I reported it I was told that it would not be fixed because it was just me complaining. Actually, I don't think that who has broken strtok noticed that he broken the behaviour that was always like that since the function was introduced in PHP 3, so the change was never documented. This suggests that like you and me there are certainly much more people affected that have not realized that strtok was broken and that it will affect their code. Anyway, since PHP developers do not seem to be willing to fix what they broke, regardless if they ever reconsider, you may want to try this alternative function that behaves like the original and only relies on functions that were not (yet) broken, so you don't stop yourself from upgrading PHP. http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com/browse.html/package/404 I also had several popular classes of mine broken because of the strtok bug. Since they are very popular the changes were announce in Freshmeat which according to the PHP Classes site they were downloaded by more than 30.000 users, despite on of the justifications for not fixing the bug was that it was not affecting significant code bases, which is not true as you may notice.
