The new version PHP 5.3 is expected to improve stability and performance as well as add new language syntax and extensions. Several new features have already been documented in the <a href="http://php.net/docs.php">official documentation</a>, others are listed on the <a href="http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53">wiki</a> in preparation of getting documented. Please also review the <a href="http://php.net/php5news">NEWS</a> file.</p> 467 <strong>THIS IS A DEVELOPMENT PREVIEW - DO NOT USE IT IN PRODUCTION!</strong> 468 <p>The purpose of this alpha release is to encourage users to not only actively 469 participate in identifying bugs, but also in ensuring that all new features or 470 necessary backwards compatibility breaks are noted in the documentation. Please 471 report any findings to the <a href="mailto:php-qa@lists.php.net">QA mailinglist</a> 472 or the <a href="http://bugs.php.net">bug tracker</a>.</p> 473 <p>There have been a great number of other additions and improvements, but here is a short overview of the most important changes:</p> 474 <ul> 475 <li><a href="http://php.net/language.namespaces">Namespaces</a> (documentation maybe out dated)</li> 476 <li><a href="http://php.net/oop5.late-static-bindings">Late static binding</a> and <a href="http://php.net/language.oop5.overloading">__callStatic</a></li> 477 <li> 478 <a href="http://wiki.php.net/rfc/closures">Lambda functions and closures</a> 479 </li> 480 <li>Addition of the <a href="http://php.net/book.intl">intl</a>, <a href="http://php.net/book.phar">phar</a> (phar is scheduled for some more work a head of alpha2), <a href="http://php.net/book.fileinfo">fileinfo </a> and <a href="http://php.net/book.sqlite3">sqlite3</a> extensions</li> 481 <li>Optional cyclic garbage collection</li> 482 <li>Optional support for the <a href="http://forge.mysql.com/wiki/PHP_MYSQLND">MySQLnd</a> replacement driver for libmysql</li> 483 <li>Windows older than Windows 2000 (Windows 98, NT4, etc.) are not supported anymore (<a href="http://wiki.php.net/internals/windows/releasenotes">details</a>)</li> 484 <li>New syntax features like <a href="http://php.net/language.types.string#language.types.string.syntax.nowdoc">NOWDOC</a>, limited GOTO, ternary short cut "?:"</li> 485 </ul> 486 <p>Several under the hood changes also require in depth testing with existing applications to ensure that any backwards compatibility breaks are minimized.

Actually this is not counting the various submissions by existing core developers, who also took this opportunity to add some more tests. This has actually increased total <a href="http://gcov.php.net/" target="_new">test coverage</a> for ext/reflection, ext/dom and ext/exif by about 10% each. While the organization of the TestFest was a bit adhoc, there were numerous TestFest events in local user groups. So the number of people exposed to the PHP test framework is much greater. Hopefully this will lead to more people submitting bug reports with an accompanying <a href="http://qa.php.net/write-test.php">phpt</a> test file!</p> 502 <p>Our top submitter Felix De Vliegher has actually committed his last submissions himself since, based on the high quality of his submissions, he has been granted commit rights to the PHP repository. We have not heard back from all participants, but we encourage everybody to <a href="http://www.deshong.net/?p=76" target="_new">blog</a> about their experience and provide us with feedback on how to improve future events.</p> 503 <p>Now better late than never, here are the 10 winners of the promised <a href="http://flickr.com/groups/elephpants/pool/">elePHPant</a> raffle sponsored by <a href="http://www.nexen.net">Nexen</a>. Note that Felix asked me not to include him in the raffle, since he is already herding quite a number of elePHPants at home.</p> 504 <ul> 505 <li>Eric Stewart</li> 506 <li>Håvard Eide</li> 507 <li>Marc Veldman</li> 508 <li>Michelangelo van Dam</li> 509 <li>Rein Velt</li> 510 <li>Rob Young</li> 511 <li>Sami Greenbury</li> 512 <li>Sebastian Deutsch</li> 513 <li>Sebastian Schürmann</li> 514 <li>Stefan Koopmanschap</li> 515 </ul> 516 <p>We will provide Nexen with the email addresses of the winners, so that they can arrange to get the elePHPants shipped. Also for those people wondering, you can continue to submit tests on the <a href="http://testfest.php.net">TestFest submission site</a>. A bit thank you to all participants and TestFest organizers! Without the countless people that helped organize local events, implement the infrastructure and submissions reviewers, the TestFest would have obviously not worked out as well as it has. We will surely do similar events in the future based on the big success of TestFest 2008.</p> 517 </div> 518 </content> 519 </entry> 520 <entry> 521 <title>Manual restructure and license change</title> 522 <id>http://www.php.net/archive/2008.php#id2008-07-29-1</id> 523 <published>2008-07-29T23:50:37+02:00</published> 524 <updated>2008-07-29T23:50:37+02:00</updated> 525 <category term="frontpage" label="PHP.net frontpage news"/> 526 <link href="http://www.php.net/index.php#id2008-07-29-1" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/> 527 <link href="http://www.php.net/archive/2008.php#id2008-07-29-1" rel="via" type="text/html"/> 528 <content type="xhtml"> 529 <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 530 <p> 531 A few weeks ago the <a href="/manual">manual</a> was restructured 532 to improve navigation and make room for 533 <a href="/pdo.prepared-statements">per-extension chapters</a> 534 and <a href="/haru.examples">usage examples</a> along with 535 <a href="/class.xmlreader">improved documentation</a> for 536 <a href="/oop5/">object oriented</a> extensions. 537 </p> 538 <p> 539 The most noticable changes are the <a href="/funcref">function reference</a>, 540 <a href="/reserved.variables">predefined variables</a>, 541 <a href="/context">context options and parameters</a> and 542 <a href="/reserved.exceptions">predefined exceptions</a> manual pages, 543 for which <a href="/contact">we would really appreciate feedback</a> on. 544 </p> 545 <p> 546 The upcomming PHP5.3 release introduces 547 <a href="http://wiki.php.net/doc/scratchpad/upgrade/53">several major features</a> 548 such as <a href="/namespaces">namespaces</a>, closures, 549 <a href="/lsb">late static bindings</a>, <a href="/intl">internationalization functions</a>, 550 <a href="/ini.sections">INI sections</a>, and <a href="/phar">Phar</a> among others. 551 We would really appreciate any and all help we can get improving the documentation. 552 </p> 553 <p> 554 In related news, the manual was relicensed recently and is now 555 covered by the 556 <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/" rel="license">CreativeCommons Attribution license</a>. 557 </p> 558 </div> 559 </content> 560 </entry> 561 <entry> 562 <title>ZendCon 2008 - September 15-18 - Santa Clara, CA-US</title> 563 <id>http://www.php.net/archive/2008.php#id2008-07-13-1</id> 564 <published>2008-07-13T18:23:14+02:00</published> 565 <updated>2008-07-13T18:23:14+02:00</updated> 566 <php:finalTeaserDate xmlns="http://php.net/ns/news">2008-09-15</php:finalTeaserDate> 567 <category term="conferences" label="Conference announcement"/> 568 <link href="http://www.php.net/conferences/index.php#id2008-07-13-1" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/> 569 <php:newsImage xmlns="http://php.net/ns/news" link="http://zendcon.com/" title="ZendCon 2008">zlogo.gif</php:newsImage> 570 <link href="http://zendcon.com/" rel="via" type="text/html"/> 571 <content type="xhtml"> 572 <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 573 <p>Join us for the largest PHP only gathering, <abbr class="dtstart" title="2008-09-15T00:00:00+02:00">September 15th</abbr> - <abbr class="dtend" title="2008-09-19T00:00:00+02:00">18th</abbr>.

As part of this event, local User Groups (UG) are 880 invited to join the TestFest. These UGs can meet physically or come 881 together virtually. The point however is that people network to learn 882 together. Aside from being an opportunity for all of you to make friends 883 with like minded people in your (virtual) community, it also will 884 hopefully reduce the work load for the PHP.net mentors.</p> 885 <p>All it takes is someone to organize a UG to spearhead the event and 886 to get others involved in 887 <a href="http://qa.php.net/write-test.php">writing phpt tests</a>. 888 The submissions will then be reviewed by members of php.net before 889 getting included in the official test suite. Please visit the 890 <a href="http://qa.php.net/testfest.php">TestFest homepage</a> to get 891 additional details on the TestFest on how to get involved, either as a 892 UG or by setting up the necessary infrastructure.</p> 893 </div> 894 </content> 895 </entry> 896 <entry> 897 <title>PHP @ FrOSCon: Call for Papers</title> 898 <id>http://www.php.net/archive/2008.php#id2008-03-20-1</id> 899 <published>2008-03-20T20:24:29+01:00</published> 900 <updated>2008-03-20T20:24:29+01:00</updated> 901 <php:finalTeaserDate xmlns="http://php.net/ns/news">2008-06-02</php:finalTeaserDate> 902 <category term="cfp" label="Call for Papers"/> 903 <link href="http://www.php.net/conferences/index.php#id2008-03-20-1" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/> 904 <php:newsImage xmlns="http://php.net/ns/news" link="http://froscon.de/" title="The Free and Open Source Conference">froscon.2008.png</php:newsImage> 905 <link href="http://froscon.de/" rel="via" type="text/html"/> 906 <content type="xhtml"> 907 <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 908 <p><a href="http://froscon.de/">The Free and Open Source Conference (FrOSCon)</a> 2008 is a two-day conference on free software and open source.
