On September 9th 2007 Ilia send out a [http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118935767300242&w=2 list] of feature suggestions he had received from various people as a result of his [http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118856134402932&w=2 request] for feature ideas on August 8th 2007.

Here are the results of the voting in a slightly reformatted format compared to the [http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118989314505802&w=2 two] [http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118989868901223&w=2 alternatives] provided by Ilia, based partially on feedback from Derick. Also note that I corrected Steph's vote as [http://marc.info/?l=php-internals&m=118954157605528&w=2 requested] on the list, which Ilia did not include in his results. Also note that only non zero votes are considered to count towards the total votes column. Finally, this listing not reexamine Ilia's interpretation of replies beyond Steph's correction (please notify if someone feels misrepresented based on review of the [http://bb.prohost.org/53Features.pdf PDF]):
