Your reviewer (and both IBM articles) fail to mention the new Unicode handling extension in 5.3 which is based on ICU (http://www.icu-project.org/, http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.intl.php). Fancy pants language gimmicks always get the fan-bhoys up in arms, but as a PHP pro I'd say that this Unicode stuff will improve the platform much more. Just think, even OSNews might be able to sort out their character encoding issues ;-)
