How so? PHP 5 does break BC (especially for objects) but this is something that was talked about for years and the consensus is/was that the change is for the better. To my knowledge, majority of the new features in PHP5 are just that and have no side effects. Another alternative to moving fgetcsv()'s current implementation would be to add #ifdef HAVE_MBSTRING around php_mblen, which would do #define php_mblen(ptr, len) 1 if mbstring is not enabled. Personally, I'd prefer to have the function in mbstring and modified further to support multibyte delimiters and enclosures, which it does not do now due to performance considerations.
