PHP 6 Native Unicode Support
Hey guys,

Last week, I was a volunteer for the PHP Québec 2007 that was held in Montreal. I managed to attend Andrei Zmievski's presentation of the upcoming unicode support in PHP 6 and it simply blew my mind! Not only will there be fully native unicode support but once the encoding has been declared, PHP will be able to recognize all languages simultaneously directly in your class, function or whatever. But the truly amazing part of the demonstration was that PHP recognized a function written say in greek (ltr) with an argument passed in hebrew (rtl) without ever having to declare the text direction...

OK, I'm still a newbie in the PHP world but that seemed pretty powerful to me! I'm not sure if this could be useful to solve the current issue but I'm sure it is definitely worth looking into before planning too far in the future.
