Re: Fwd: [SMARTY] Smarty and Unicode

Yes, but what I was referring to in my email to Marcus was that if the
variable contents you need to modify were UTF-8 strings you might get very
strange results since php regex will treat that utf-8 string like an ASCII
one.

That issue has made me turn my back on PHP until version 6, where it'll be
solved -I hope, unless zend gets a new stupid idea again and decides to put
the effort in adding better support for .net, or anythin' like that-
