ICU - and intl - does a lot more than conversions. I think you will want to study ICU. Probably, over time, intl will encapsulate more and more of the ICU functionality. This will include ICU's idea of how to implement externalization of resources ('gettext' functionality). You might want to sell your employer on the benefits of joining the effort to expand intl. =Ed Batutis -- PHP Unicode & I18N Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
