To make php be easier usable in non US-ASCII (127chars) environments especially those requiring UCS-2, UTF-8 or other any character mapping other than iso-8859-1 or -15 we should more likly try to integrate mbstring fully in php. As long as we cannot or want not make it a core component such as ext/standard we should enable it by default.
And it do not see why it is dangerous or why it should harm any test? All hose mbstring settings affecting the tests are no set in such a way that activating mbstring cannot harm AND mbstring is deply tested for its own. When currently any test is affected by mbstring this should be reported so we can adjust test settings! marcus At 16:04 07.11.2002, Andrei Zmievski wrote:
At the PHP Conference in Germany several of us have discussed the current state of mbstring and there was a proposal to not have it enabled by default for 4.3.0 release. It seems that the extension attempts to do "magic" stuff by overloading functions in the executor globals and, as Thies said, that could be dangerous. Also, doesn't it affect run-tests.php script currently?
