agree with keeping the BC as much as possible, but from the responses from the others (Dmitry, Stas, Zeev) and the nature of the change (changing the undefined behavior of the function) and the fact that it is already out there (and changing this back and releasing a new version now or later would be even more wrong) my guess is that we will keep the new behavior. -- Ferenc Kovács @Tyr43l - http://tyrael.hu -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
