=============================
1. Reserved words and classes
=============================
- **namespace** and **goto** are now reserved keywords.
- **Closure** is now a reserved class. (Used by lambda and closure.)
=====================================
2. Changes made to existing functions
=====================================
- The array functions natsort(), natcasesort(), usort(), uasort(), uksort(),
array_flip() and array_unique(), no longer accept objects passed as arguments.
If you need to access their properties using an object, you will need to cast
the objects to arrays first.
- var_dump() output now includes private object members.
- session_start() now returns FALSE when the session startup fails.
- clearstatcache() no longer clears the realpath cache by default.
- The filesystem functions opendir(), scandir() and dir() now use the default
context if no context is passed as an argument to them.
- The behaviour of functions with by-reference parameters called by value has
changed. Where previously the function would accept the by-value argument, a
warning is now emitted and all by-ref parameters are set to NULL.
- There is now native support for the following math functions: asinh(), acosh(),
atanh(), log1p() and expm1().
- In the GD extension, there is now pixelation support available through
the imagefilter() function.
- crypt() now has Blowfish and extended DES support, and crypt() features are now
100% portable. PHP has its own internal crypt implementation which drops into
place when support for crypt or crypt_r() is not found.
- get_cfg_var() is now able to return "array" INI options.
- Stream wrappers can now be used by include_path().
- There are new parameters in:
clearstatcache(): clear_realpath_cache and filename.
copy(): context.
fgetcsv(): escape.
ini_get_all(): details.
nl2br(): is_xhtml.
parse_ini_file(): scanner_mode.
round(): mode.
stream_context_create(): params.
strstr(), stristr(): before_needle.
===================================
3. Changes made to existing methods
===================================
- The magic methods __get(), __set(), __isset(), __unset() and __call() should
always be public and can no longer be static. Method signatures are enforced.
- The __toString() magic method can no longer accept arguments.
- There is a new magic method, __callStatic().
- count() vs count_elements() handler resolution rules have changed. (This could
potentially break custom PHP extensions.)
- The trailing / has been removed from SplFileInfo and other related directory
classes.
- SplFileInfo::getpathinfo() now returns information about the path name.
- There are new parameters in:
Exception::__construct(): previous.
===================================
4. Changes made to existing classes
===================================
- SplObjectStorage now has ArrayAccess support. It is also now possible to
store associative information with objects in SplObjectStorage.
=============
5. Deprecated
=============
- define_syslog_variables() is deprecated.
- All ereg functions are deprecated. Use PCRE (preg_*()) instead.
===============
6. Undeprecated
===============
- By popular request, is_a() is no longer marked deprecated.
==============
7. Extensions:
==============
a. moved out to PECL and actively maintained there
- fpdf
- ming
- ncurses
b. no longer maintained
- dbase
- fbsql
- msql
- sybase (use sybase_ct, which is still in PHP core)
c. with changed behaviour
- hash: The SHA-224 hash algorithm is now supported.
- oci8a: Calling oci_close() on a persistent connection, or on a variable
that references a persistent connection going out of scope, will now
roll back any uncommitted transaction. You should explicitly commit or
rollback as needed.
Setting oci8.old_oci_close semantics=On in php.ini gives the old
behaviour.
- openssl: There is now support for OpenSSL digest and cipher functions.
It is also now possible to access the internal values of DSA, RSA and
DH keys.
- session: Sessions will no longer store session-files in "/tmp" where
open_basedir restrictions apply, unless "/tmp" is explicitly added to
the list of allowed paths.
d. no longer possible to disable
- PCRE
- Reflection
- SPL
==========================
8. Changes in SAPI support
==========================
- FastCGI is now always enabled and can not be disabled. See sapi/cgi/CHANGES
for more details.
- A new CGI SAPI option, -T, can be used to measure execution time of a script
repeated several times.
- CGI/FastCGI now has support for .htaccess style user-defined php.ini files.
============================
9. Changes in INI directives
============================
- zend.ze1_compatibility_mode has been removed.
- A new user initialization mechanism and config variables have been added:
user_ini.filename and user_ini.cache_ttl
- There is now support for special sections: [PATH=/opt/httpd/www.example.com/]
and [HOST=www.example.com]. Directives set in these sections cannot be
overridden by user-defined INI files or at runtime.
- Added mbstring.http_output_conv_mimetype. This directive specifies the
regex pattern of content types for which mb_output_handler() is activated.
- It is now possible to use the full path to load modules using the "extension"
directive.
- "ini-variables" can now be used almost anywhere in a php.ini file.
- It is now possible to use alphanumeric or variable indices in ini option
arrays.
- Runtime tightening of open_basedir restrictions is now possible.
====================
10. Syntax additions
====================
- NOWDOC is like HEREDOC but with single quotes:
<<<'LABEL' ...
Static HEREDOCs can be used to initialize static variables and class members
or constants:
static $foo = <<<LABEL
No variables here...
LABEL;
- The ?: operator has been introduced:
var_dump(0 ?: 'Hello!');
===================
11. Windows support
===================
- The minimum Windows version is now Windows 2000. (Windows 98 and NT4 are no
longer supported).
- PHP Windows binaries target i586 or later. i386 and i486 are not supported.
- Windows support has been added for the following functions: getopt(),
imagecolorclosesthwb(), mcrypt_create_iv(), inet_ntop() and inet_pton().
===================
