Dear Internals and Wiki Administrators,
Please accept my apologies for my previous email. Upon further consideration and architectural review, I realized that a helper like “get_favicon()” is indeed much better suited for user-land frameworks rather than the PHP Core itself.
Instead, I would like to officially update my Wiki account request to focus on a critical, low-level feature that I have been actively developing: a Unicode-safe string masking function named grapheme_mask() for the ext/intl extension.
As you know, masking multi-byte strings and emojis without breaking grapheme clusters is a common pain point in PHP. This function will leverage the ICU library to provide a standardized, high-performance, and safe way to handle this in the core.
I have already developed a working C prototype and written several .phpt tests for it, and I am ready to start the RFC process for grapheme_mask().

Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for any confusion caused by my initial draft.
Best regards,
Sepehr

, Hi Internals
My name is Sepehr, and I am a web developer. I would like to request a Wiki account to propose a new addition to the PHP core
Proposal: A built-in function to dynamically detect and return the website’s favicon URL (e.g., get_favicon()).
Motivation:
Currently, developers have to manually handle favicon paths. I have developed a logic that automates this process by dynamically detecting the favicon file within the project structure without requiring parameters. I believe having a standard, built-in way to handle this would improve the developer experience and make PHP more web-integrated.

I have a working prototype and I am ready to start the RFC process.
Best regards,
