Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #75 from Roan Kattouw <[email protected]> 2009-05-15 10:59:44 UTC --- (In reply to comment #73) > I think you missed my point - I don't mean MW has to have something because > programming languages have it, I mean if programming languages have it as > standard, AND we want to have it (as we clearly do in this case), then it > surely must be a pretty trivial matter to code. Surely there are standard php > libraries which have all these functions? > If you read the comments (granted, 74 is a lot), you'll see that there were issues with previous implementations, such as the need to use Unicode-aware string functions, the need to fall back to alternative implementations if those functions aren't available (they're a PHP extension) and the need to do all this efficiently. Robert has attached a patch, which he could (and probably should, or maybe already has?) committed to StringFunctions in SVN; Tim or Brion can then review that and, if it passes, enable it on Wikipedia. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
