Loose the requirement of mbstring #38
Comments
Patchwork UTF-8 might be a reasonable alternative but it depends how much of mb_string is actually used. You can get away with using core functions for a lot of stuff. ---Sent from Boxer | http://getboxer.com On 25 December 2014 18:01:11 GMT-5, Matthieu Napoli notifications@github.com wrote:This library requires the mbstring extension.

Why is that extension required? Simply for mb_* functions? In that case would it be acceptable to do something like "if mbstring then use mb_strlen else use strlen "? —Reply to this email directly or view it on GitHub. = |
Using the github search it looks like there are only 2 places, have not checked with IDE though. |

Awesome thanks! |
This library requires the mbstring extension. Unless I'm mistaken, this extension is not always installed on every system, and I'm afraid it will lead to problems with end users not being to install this project or projects requiring this one.
