In a new post over on Dynamically Typed today, Thomas Rutter talks a bit about his response to Rasmus' posting of a wishlist for PHP6.

In other news over the weekend, Rasmus posted his personal wish list of features for PHP 6.0. Comments in the SitePoint Forums about the proposals have largely been positive, with some caveats.

Something that I have been very keen to see in PHP for a long time is proper support for character encodings including UTF-8. The php.general post itself contains the wish list, and its replies contain even more information and suggestions. Among the suggestions are a complete removal of register_globals and magic quotes - which, as you can probably guess, I think is a terrific idea.
