You'll get taken more seriously if you have working code that someone can write unit tests against. If your solution doesn't get any traction with the core team, you'll still be able to offer it to the community as a simple download, just "include this at the top of your script to fix "ereg*() not found" problems". That would be really useful to all those people whose cause you are championing. (BTW, the reference implementation for PHP is... PHP. There isn't an ISO standard or anything here. How PHP6 behaves is correct, because it's PHP6). (BTW^2 - you're on the wrong list for this. If you want to influence the guys who make the decisions you need to take this to php-internals, where the heavyweights hang out). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
