Well, I'm using it to decode quoted-printable and base64 encodings in the mailparse extension. The reason I'm using it and not the other implementations of the same in PHP is that the mbfilter part of the mbstring extension allows streaming or incremental processing, which is very useful for large message content. (Just think of malloc'ing 10MB to hold a message body, then malloc'ing another 10MB as a buffer to decode it). I'm using mbstring for projects in Asia, but also use it for generally handling utf-8, although I do end up using a mixture of iconv, recode and mbstring depending on which encodings I need to decode (you get all kinds of strange things turning up in email*). For some reason, some libraries work better than others for particular encodings *shrug*. --Wez. * Brain Dead content-type Hall of Fame: charset=x-unknown charset=default_charset charset=uk-ascii -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
