Hello all, as most of you know we have been accepted in the Google Summer of Code for a refactory of a framework using PHP6. As I mentionned one of the main goals of this is to help with the development of PHP6 and testing. So here I go, what are the features and tests that YOU would like to see reported ? I am currently building a list of things that we have to test and I am wondering which are the parts you consider the most important and the most bogus/untested perhaps. Thanks, David

There's absolutely new code for output handlers, torture it. Text processing incl. compression, DB access, XML handling might be good candidates to test, too. Regards,

Yep, perhaps I should add the list of what I have that we need to test: - cookies (setting, reading, etc) - sessions (setting, reading, destroying, etc) - XML Handling (SimpleXML, DOMDocument, XMLReader, XMLWriter) - Database Accessibility (PDO, et al) - output buffering, handling - perhaps namespaces if it ever gets in head anytime soon) - SPL (ArrayAccess, Iterator, IteratorIterator, DirectoryIterator, etc...) - array handling in general - general 64 bit capabilities - Iteration over multi-dimensional arrays - goto/jump *grumble* - Real static bindings - and of course APC in the core... seeing how it reacts with unicode (I know it's not done yet..(apc -> unicode)
