(Cancelled would be equally accurate, at least in terms of it being a full Unicode extravaganza.) At the moment, PHP doesn't really have any conception of character sets anyway =E2=80=94 strings are strings of bytes. Developers obviously should be dealing with $_GET data as UTF-8, but in practice given the amount of old, crufty PHP code out there written by people who've probably never heard of Unicode, who knows what's really going on. I suspect "the world is 7-bit ASCII" is still a depressingly common attitude. Adam
