Hi there ! We all know that the current PHP API has flaws. Maybe we could use namespaces to build a new coherent PHP API ? Like : - \arr - \num - \str and so on. Advantages : - no more global functions - separation of concerns - backward compatibility - work can be done progressively - easy to add user-defined functions (using php namespaces) - we could provide a \str\utf8 namespace This is just an idea. I don't know what is your vision for a next PHP 6. KH
While it's good to see people float ideas, what is needed is real commitment to write the code to implement them. Can you comment on what participation you envisage for yourself? At the moment your email sounds like a "someone should do" list (see point 4 of https://blogs.oracle.com/opal/entry/the_mysterious_php_rfc_process). If this isn't the case, I look forward to seeing some prototypes from you or from anyone else willing to contribute to your ideas.
