ID: 29163 User updated by: ramon_herrera at eloyalty dot com Reported By: ramon_herrera at eloyalty dot com Status: Assigned Bug Type: Filesystem function related Operating System: win2k & GNU/Linux (FC2) PHP Version: 5.0.1 Assigned To: moriyoshi New Comment:
IMO, correctness trumps backwards compatibility in this case, especially since pre-4.3.4 was so long ago. Compatibility with something that was broken is not a persuasive argument. If a single space char is what a CSV field is comprised of, then, IMO, that is exactly how it should be represented in this function's result. Must there be quotes? Backslash escapes? What else is needed? Moriyoshi, what do your colleagues believe?

What is the consensus among the developers/maintainers regarding this matter? Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-07-20 23:23:03] [EMAIL PROTECTED] *sigh* as I mentioned again and again, whether it's correct or not doesn't matter. Personally I'm for Ilia's opinion, but compatibility should always come first. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
