| PHP 5.0.0 Released! |
| by Mikhail on 2004/7/14 17:11:02 PHP 5.0.0 Released! [13-Jul-2004] The PHP team is proud to announce the final release of PHP 5! Some of the key features of PHP 5 include: * 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... For changes since Release Candidate 3, please consult the ChangeLog: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.0.0 |
