I will be documenting BC breaks on that page after committing. Basically, some functions like trim() would not behave the same way when passing things like resources, arrays or objects without a __toString() method. The old ways didn't make any sense most of the time anyway, as you don't want to trim a resource and get a string back containing: "Resource" Ex: $ar = array(1, 2); Before: var_dump(trim($ar)) -> string(5) "Array" with an E_NOTICE Now: var_dump(trim($ar)) -> NULL with an E_WARNING Tests are going to be changed to reflect that also (that's mostly the longest part) Regards, Olivier -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
