Yeah, that sounds like a really good idea to postpone PHP 6 for another 3 years. ;-)


I know you were joking, but DO WE REALLY WANT THREE VERSIONS OF PHP on
the go ? We need a roadmap to ONE version - don't we?


Having the suggestions collected (either in separate text files in CVS
or in a web-bases system) would be a good idea anyways.


I think we shouldn't go overboard with all the suggestions. We do want to ship the Unicode PHP this year - and just focussing on Rasmus' initial list seems the best way to me.


Apart from unicode, nothing else on the list was something that could
not be introduced in 5.1 or 5.2. The REAL problem is getting people who
insist that PHP5 is no good to start switching from PHP4, so that it can
be 'put to bed' rather than adding new features to that AS WELL ? The
only time I have a problem with register_globals is where the source is
PHP4 !
