/**
 * api:		php
 * title:	upgrade.php
 * description:	Emulates functions from new PHP versions on older interpreters.
 * version:	18.1
 * license:	Public Domain
 * url:		http://freshmeat.net/projects/upgradephp
 * type:	functions
 * category:	library
 * priority:	auto
 * load_if:     (PHP_VERSION<5.2)
 * sort:	-255
 * provides:	upgrade-php, api:php5, json
 *
 *
 * By loading this library you get PHP version independence. It provides
 * downwards compatibility to older PHP interpreters by emulating missing
 * functions or constants using IDENTICAL NAMES. So this doesn't slow down
 * script execution on setups where the native functions already exist. It
 * is meant as quick drop-in solution. It spares you from rewriting code or
 * using cumbersome workarounds instead of the more powerful v5 functions.
 * 
 * It cannot mirror PHP5s extended OO-semantics and functionality into PHP4
 * however. A few features are added here that weren't part of PHP yet. And
 * some other function collections are separated out into the ext/ directory.
 * It doesn't produce many custom error messages (YAGNI), and instead leaves
 * reporting to invoked functions or for native PHP execution.
 * 
 * And further this is PUBLIC DOMAIN (no copyright, no license, no warranty)
 * so therefore compatible to ALL open source licenses. You could rip this
 * paragraph out to republish this instead only under more restrictive terms
 * or your favorite license (GNU LGPL/GPL, BSDL, MPL/CDDL, Artistic/PHPL, ..)
 *
 * Any contribution is appreciated. <milky*users#sf#net>
