Does it matter? ini settings are much easier to notice during debugging than #ifdefs, so I think Rui made an excellent choice here. However, some documentation of these settings would be useful (hint :). > > [snip] > > Yes, I think mbstring is very fundamental feature and it should > > be built-in > > feature (in PHP 5.0). > > But, string related functions and some other core functions > > are included in ext/standard which is also in extension part. > > > > sure, ext/standard works... we just need to lose the duplication. You obviously have no idea what mbstring exactly does, as this comments makes little sense. mbstring _overloads_ functions which are in ext/standard (such as strpos() ). That is a little bit too much magic, and thus I like to see the mbstring functions merged into the ext/standard functions (for PHP 5).
