Hi all,
I have been following the internals list since I heard that the unicode effort had grinded to a halt
(so I am quite the noob into the php internals world).
I have some ideas for possible ways to implement unicode handling. My guess is that most of these
have been discussed earlier but I do not seem to be able to find any good way of reading up on the
choices that led to the php 6 unicode implementation (please direct me in the right direction if
such a source is available). It would also be great if there was a source of information that listed
some of the caveats of the project that I am guessing is what is making it hard to implement.
I proppose that we make a wiki page that attempts to summarize information about unicode support in
php. Some of the headlines on the page could be:
* Desired features
* Cavets
* The "php 6 way"
* Possible alternative "ways"
I think this would give a good overview that would make it easier to make the right decision on how
to move forward.
I would like to organize/collect/manage the information, but I need help in finding the needed
information.
Is this a good idea?
Is it silly to have someone, that has not been involved in the earlier unicode discussions, trying
to summarize on them?
