02/26/2003 12:28 PMPHP5 is comming closer and closer, and with that the Zend engine2.0
will change on how PHP handles OOP.
To be ready for this I have made a overview of the new features that
will be available when PHP5 finally arrives. I am also looking into
creating extentions for PHP, and when my C skills gets a bit better I
will try to dig through the source of the Zend engine and figure out
what is what there. But for now I have some examples that should show
you how the new features will affect you as a programmer when PHP5
arrives. -- Håvard Eide

Testing PHP5
Testing PHP5
02/16/2004 03:36 AMNow that
PHP5 beta
4 has been released, it might be useful to share how we all do our
testing of different PHP versions.
We find it quite bothersome to reconfigure our web server(s) everytime
we want to switch between different versions of PHP4 and PHP5.
So we have automated all our testing on Windows using the command-line
interface to PHP5.
PHP5 beta 4 allows us to define a php.ini configuration file in the
same directory as the php.exe executable. We will first modify
php.ini, setting extension_dir and include_dir, and enable the
appropriate extension=* settings. Then we have a standard DOS batch
file that will run php.exe and unit-test ADOdb (the database
abstraction library for PHP that I maintain). The output is generated
to rez.html.
The last line of the batch file opens the resultant html file in IE.
The "start" command will attempt to open any file if the extension
mapping exists, e.g. "start rez.html".
The only disadvantage of this approach is that you are not testing
PHP5's long-term interaction with the web server, and you need to have
an existing set of unit tests that can be automated. This might not be
possible if you testing mostly user interface code.
And what do i think of PHP5 beta 4? Two thumbs up. Didn't have to
change anything in ADOdb to make it work with beta 4.
Sample DOS Batch File
Note: Each release of php5 is kept in its own sub-directory
(c:php5php5b1, c:php5php5b2, etc). Tests are in d:phpadodbtests.
c:
cd php5
del *.html
cd php5b4
d:
cd phpadodbtests
c:php test.php testmysql > c:php5rez.html
c:php test.php testoracle > c:php5rez2.html
c:
cd ..
start rez.html
start rez2.html

Zend's New PHP5 Info Center
Zend's New PHP5 Info Center
04/09/2004 03:58 PMPHP 5 brings along a host of new features and major improvements
like you've grown to expect from past major versions. Answering the
need for scalable development architectures in the Enterprise, PHP 5
boasts the new Zend Engine 2, which includes a brand new object model,
allowing for the development of large-scale, maintainable object
oriented applications. PHP 5 also introduces new revolutionary ways of
dealing with XML that make it the ideal platform for XML processing—no
other solution comes even close! Complementary to the new XML features
is the new SOAP module, allowing interoperability with Web Services
via a fast and easy-to-use API.
The list of goodies in PHP 5 goes on and on: built-in
server-independent SQL support using SQLite, new high-performance and
more secure MySQL support, all-new COM/.NET support, and lots more.
Given this long list of new features, we're confident that you're just
as excited about the next generation of PHP as we are! To make things
even snappier, we came up with this new PHP 5 section of Zend.com's
DeveloperZone. The section will allow you to get PHP 5 information
right from the source, discover PHP 5's various new features, as well
as learn how to migrate from earlier versions of PHP. -- Zeev and
Andi.
This appears to be an excellent resource. Pity I'm too busy at work to
look at it. I have received a copy of George's Advanced PHP book too.
I will try to review it when my schedule permits. Time is tight. Now

A stroll in the park with PHP5 beta 4
03/06/2004 01:53 AMOver the past few days, I have had an opportunity to do more testing
with PHP5b4.
I'm glad that most of my testing was on Windows because I don't have
to compile anything on Windows to get PHP5 working. But I had to try
things out on Linux too because I'm writing an article for
PHP-Magazine.
Testing on Linux was really painful.
One gotcha is PHP4. After compiling PHP5 on our Linux box it kept on
crashing when I restarted apache. Finally I remembered that you can
run the command line interface version of PHP (in php5/sapi/cli/),
which gives somewhat more helpful error messages, and discovered that
PHP5 was trying to load PHP4's php.ini.
Apart from the PHP4 gotcha, I had to download a newer version of
libxml2 for PHP5 to compile. I downloaded the latest libxml2, only to
find that out 2.6.6 was not supported by PHP5 (it wouldn't link). I
had to rollback a few versions and retrieve libxml2.5.11 instead.
- I must have screwed up something else, PHP5b4 works fine
with libxml2 2.6.6.
Now i don't dare recompile PHP4, because it probably requires libxml2
2.4. Ugh, the joys of Unix development.
More highlights of PHP5b4:
I'm not a big fan of XML, but
I have been trying out simplexml, and
it really is as simple as promised.
I also did some benchmarks. I'm pleasantly surprised that in some
operations, such as looping, PHP5b4 is already faster than PHP4.

Official Migrating from PHP4 to PHP5
Docs
03/06/2004 01:53 AMPHP 5 and the integrated Zend Engine 2 have greatly improved PHP's
performance and capabilities, but great care has been taken to break
as little existing code as possible. So migrating your code from PHP 4
to 5 should be very easy. Most existing PHP 4 code should be ready to
run without changes, but you should still know about the few
differences and take care to test your code before switching versions
in production environments. -- Nuno Lopes
Andi Gutman points this out:
>Paragraph: Classes must be declared before used
>is no longer true. For most cases this is allowed now.
To be accurate, we solved the BC issue but for people who want to
use the
PHP 5 features (such as implementing interfaces), they will have to
declare
the class before using it.
