Here are the slides for the talk I gave at the PHP Québec 2008 Conference titled “PHP for Polyglots: Web Applications and i18n”
Feel free to email me if you have any questions or comments on these slides!
Interesting slide, but in this I disagree with you:
"Perl regular expressions (pcre) not UTF-8 safe.
If you are processing user input, must use ereg regular expressions"
1. What is the problem with the /u modifier at PCRE?
2. Using ereg for input validating is not a good idea while it is not binary safe. You can test it with inserting a \0 character into a request variable: ereg will think that this is the end of the string (this is caused by the internal representation of strings in PHP), and doesn't validate the rest of it.
