The problem with removing mbstring as a default module would be its upcoming integration into Zend engine for full I18n of php. So i would prefer making it a module that does not harm anything. In other words it must not change anything until some character conversion is really needed. I see the reasons for making it a non default module but i also think it will become a core module. The remaining question is: Do we want full I18n for php? marcus -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
