PHP 5 Hits The Street







PHP 5 Hits The Street

PHP 5 Hits The Street 07/14/2004 10:09 AM

PHP version 5.0.0 has now officially been released, bringing a large number of long-overdue changes to PHP.

  • The Zend Engine II with a new object model and dozens of new features.
  • XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
  • A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as
    PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.



  • A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.


  • A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and later.
    This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to
    a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features,
    such as prepared statements.


  • SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite,
    please visit their website.

  • Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access
    low-level socket operations on streams.

  • And lots more...

The biggest improvements are the chan ges to Zend, the core of PHP, that makes PHP a full-fledged OO language now. Features like private, static, abstract, and final methods, as well as the option to (somewhat) strongly type variables, mean that PHP can now be used to build serious object models. When using OO techniques in PHP 4, I tended to run into the barriers caused by these missing features, and it always felt like the language was trying to push me into writing spaghetti code. Sadly, still no schema support.

on green dolphin street 06/01/2004 06:44 PM
I've been alluding to some sort of exciting announcement for at least a week now, but every time I think I'm going to make it, something else comes up, and it keeps getting delayed.

So I guess I should just make the announcement, and go back to folding my clothes.

(Totally random aside: even though I'm married and have two stepkids, I still do laundry like a bachelor. About once every two weeks, my clothes will spill out of the hamper, and I'll hear Anne call, "Wil?" from the bedroom.

Excitedly expecting some Skyrockets in Flight, I'll race back there, only to find her standing near the hamper, one hand on her hip, the other pointing at the mass of clothes, as she gives me The Look.

My wife is the most patient and wonderful woman on the planet.)

Motorola has a series of short films shot with their new V710 cameraphone. Gizmodo has taken a bullet for you, watching and digesting the ad-shlock (and mixing metaphors without gloves) to exhume these five core messages:
Hot asian girls can be shallow.
Bears hate your ringtone, as well.
Dogs are awful at voicemail.
Some people like cake.
Socially unstable people usually marry within one week of writing a sad song.
