| PHP 4.0 NEWS | |
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| | |
| 30 Apr 2001, Version 4.0.5 | |
| - IMPORTANT: removed /F modifier handling from preg_replace(). Instead | |
| one should use new preg_replace_callback() function. (Andrei) | |
| - Added new php.ini directive: arg_separator.input which is used to tell | |
| PHP which characters are considered as argument separators in URLs. | |
| Renamed php.ini directive: arg_separator -> arg_separator.output (Jani) | |
| - Added FastCGI SAPI module. (Ben Mansell) | |
| - Added array_reduce(), which allows iterative reduction of an array | |
| to a single value via a callback function. (Andrei) | |
| - The imageloadfont function of the gd extension should be not platform | |
| dependent after this fix. (alex@zend.com) | |
| - Fixed a compatibility problem in some file functions (fgets, fputs, fread, | |
| fwrite). The ANSI standard says that if a file is opened in read/write | |
| mode, fseek() should be called before switching from reading to writing | |
| and vice versa. (alex@zend.com) | |
| - Fixed argument checking for call_user_func* functions and allowed | |
| specifying array($obj, 'method') syntax for call_user_func_array. (Andrei) | |
| - Fixed parent::method() to also work with runtime bindings. | |
| (Zeev, Zend Engine) | |
| - Implemented high-performance zlib-based output compression - see | |
| zlib.output_compression INI directive. (Zeev) | |
| - Improved ob_gzhandler() to support chunked output buffering - it's | |
| recommended to use it with 4KB chunks. (Zeev) | |
| - Fixed chunked output buffering. (Zeev) | |

| the key instead of a boolean. (jason@php.net) | |
| - Fixed pgsql transaction support. (Stig, PEAR/DB) | |
| - Added new object VARIANT() to encapsulate values for use with | |
| the COM and DOTNET module. Therefore it is now possible to pass | |

| date, idispatch, iunknown, ...) and define the codepage that should | |
| be used for unicode - conversion. | |
| - Improved overall speed of IRCG, added URL handling to message scanner. | |
| (Sascha) | |
| - Fixed some modules to allow using output-buffering. (Thies) | |
| - Added the chroot() function. (Derick) | |

| on the connection. This was advised by someone from the PostgreSQL | |
| core-team. (Thies) | |

| link by accident. (Patch by: aja@nlgroup.ca) | |

| A bug with capital letters break search has been fixed. (gluke) | |
| - Static methods can now be called via call_user_method_* functions, e.g. | |
| call_user_method('method', 'class'), and also array('class', 'method') | |
| constructs (for array_walk(), for example). (Andrei, Zend Engine) | |
| - microtime() under Windows now returns accurate values. (James) | |
| - Added PREG_SPLIT_DELIM_CAPTURE flag to preg_split() that allows for Perl-like | |
| functionality of capturing parenthesized delimiter expression. (Andrei) | |
| - Fixed strip_tags() to not strip a lone > character. (Rasmus) | |

| specify array($obj, 'method') construct as a replacement function. (Andrei) | |
| - Added mysql_get_client_info(), mysql_get_server_info(), | |
| mysql_get_proto_info(), and mysql_get_host_info() functions. (Sean) | |

| used. (Andrei) | |
