There's an experimental PHP extension module which wraps the ICU library's
normalization functions. This is *MUCH* faster than doing this work in pure
-PHP code. This is at https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/gitweb?p=mediawiki/extensions/normal.git;a=summary.
+PHP code. This is at https://git.wikimedia.org/summary/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2Fnormal.git.
It is used by the WMF, which currently runs PHP 5.3.10 on Linux. It hasn't been
thoroughly tested on other configurations, but may work.
If the php_normal.so module is loaded in php.ini, the normalization functions
will automatically use it. If you can't (or don't want to) load it in php.ini,
-you may be able to load it using the dl() function before include()ing or
-require()ing UtfNormal.php, and it will be picked up.
