Hey all,

Following on from the brief comments on

PHP

 6 and UTF-8 support, I was wondering what the general consensus on the

PHP

 6 proposed feature set was? Will you be making the switch?

 6_features.pdf - a fairly decent summary.

From my point of view as I don't really have any complex applications and I'm still

learn

 ing  its probably worth my while to jump on board straightaway. Although the one major feature (as far as I can tell) namespaces will apparently be ap

pear

 ing in

PHP

  5.3. I don't really have any applications large enough to reap the benefits of namespaces but I guess its kind of a best practice issue and will help my understanding of OO design.

That presentation makes

PHP

 6 look like an incremental update (like 5.3) rather than a full version increase. NBs will be happy with the dropping of magicquotes LOL.

I dunno yet.. gonna have to see how stable it is. Couple nice feature make things a little easier (APC in core, for example) but nothing jumps out as a Gotta Have just yet.

Whats the deal with magic quotes?

What *isn't* the deal with magic quotes?

fish magic quotes.

I now just run a magic-quotes un-magicifier.
the world is good now...
