Hank, i certainly am not an official voice of PHP, but some movement is happening (albeit slow and scattered) to provide some form of Unicode support. the Japanese I18N group have recently created a path to allow the engine to process scripts in various encodings, Unicode included [1].
in addition, i've been working on a PHP extension based on ICU (http://www-124.ibm.com/icu/), hosted at http://www.pearfr.org/~cshmoove/ much has been done, but ICU is huge, and there are only 2 people working on the PHP project. with additional help, we can have full Normalization and UCA collation support by the time PHP5 ships. as it stands now, i can only commit to wrapping up the work that has already been done to make it stable enough for general usage. if you have time and talent to spare (coding, documentation or otherwise), feel free to join the party. l0t3k [1] http://www.zend.com/lists/engine2/200308/msg00013.html "Hank Tt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Hi, > > I've been trying to locate some documentation on where PHP is headed in > terms of Unicode support. -- PHP Internationalization Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
