Andre Hoffmann posted a blog entry today to talk about his work on Zend_Locale_UTF8.

I just released the first version of Zend_Locale_UTF8.It doesn’t come with all functions nor with the best performance, but it shows how the current state of development is.

Missing features:

  • Unit-Tests
  • substr()
  • strrpos() (not such a big of a deal as it’s basically the same as strpos, I just wanted to make a cut at some point)
  • strtr()
  • strtok()
  • PHP6 support
  • mbstring support

Andre then goes on to give shoutouts to Willie and Andries Seuters for helping find a bug.

Finally, he wraps up the post with a sample code to show you how to use this new toy.
