PHP always had backwards incompatibility breaking problems with new releases. That is why PHP 5 took time to be adopted. Actuall, most ISP were sort of forced to upgrade because the announcement of the end of support to PHP 4 versions. Anyway, if you found a bug, you only need to report it to bugs.php.net to have it checked and hopefully fixed. Since it is related with an external library, maybe it is not PHP fault. PHP has a extensive test suite but I guess you either found a case that is not well tested or it is not understood as a bug. >> Nowadays I use an e-mail address parser class written in pure PHP that >> comes with this MIME parser class: >> >> http://www.phpclasses.org/mimeparser > > Thanks, I'll have a look at that. -- Regards, Manuel Lemos Find and post PHP jobs http://www.phpclasses.org/jobs/ PHP Classes - Free ready to use OOP components written in PHP http://www.phpclasses.org/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
