Things to do or at least think about doing in the future. Name in
parenthesis means that person has taken on this project.
Zend
----
* allow foreach ($array as $k => &$val) syntax. right now we can not
traverse an array without copying each element.
* look al replacing c-lib call tolower().
global
------
* make sure all source files have the "right" copyright.
* the following modules still use PHP3_TLS_*() macros (and thereby don't
work in ZTS mode): ext/dav/dav.c, ext/db/db.c, ext/gd/gd.c, ext/ldap/ldap.c
* make sure that all ZTS globals get destructed. Most ts_allocate_id()
calls should have a dtor entry.
* activate all extensions by default that don't rely on external
dependices. (eg ftp)
* --enable-all in configure. (--enable-shared=max ...)
* make configure print out a summary when it's done (like XEmacs)
* replace standard functions which work on static data with
reentrant-save functions
* on some platforms unimplemented function will just do nothing (eg symlink)
they should print a warning or be not even defined!
* implement javadoc based function docs template system
* use thread-safe resolver functions (either require BIND 8 or adns)
* provide optional IPv6 support
* make SAPI conform to CGI/1.1. Currently, all SAPI modules
define REMOTE_ADDR etc. themselves and reach only various level
of compliance.
* find a better way to implement script timeouts. SIGVTALRM is used
by some POSIX threads implementations (i.e. OpenBSD) and is not
available in ZTS mode.
documentation
-------------
* add remarks in the documentation which functions are not implemented on win32.
* add remarks in the documentation which functions are not binary-safe.
ext/pcre
--------
* have a non-greedy option for preg_replace()
* have an option for preg_grep() to return keys as well
ext/wddx
--------
* See if we can support the remaining datatypes:
dateTime
binary
recordset
http://www.wddx.org/WDDX_SDK_10a/7__References/WDDX_DTD.htm
(Andrei)
* implement wddx_packet_as_javascript(). (Andrei)
ext/dav
--------
* rewrite
ext/oci8
--------
* all OCIFetch*() functions should return 0 for no more data and false on error.
ext/mcrypt
----------
* port to mcrypt-2.6 or later
ext/standard
------------
* add a version number to data serialized via serialize().
* array_add(), array_rand() (Andrei)
* implement pathinfo() (what the heck is it?)
* possibly modify parsing of GPC data to automatically create arrays if
variable name is seen more than once.
* implement regex-cache for url-functions.
* strpad() (Andrei)
* strcase_replace() (Andrei)
* comparing arrays semantically (like Python) (Andrei)
* move socket related functions to fsock.c
* add third parameter to fseek() to indicate where to seek from
* NOT binary safe:
strtok()
basename()
dirname()
strrpos()
strrchr()
strip_tags()
other cool stuff
----------------
* PVM extension
