PHP 4.0 NEWS
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
?? ??? 200?, Version 4.0.5
- New FastCGI server 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)
- Forced call_user_method() and call_user_method_array() to take the
object argument by reference. (Andrei)
- Fixed binding of ROWIDs in OCI8. (Thies)
- Added PEAR/Cache as a generic Caching System. (Sebastian, PEAR/Cache)
- Added IMAP quota support (imap_set_quota, imap_get_quota), enabled/added via
c-client2000. (kalowsky)
- Upgraded PCRE to version 3.4. (Andrei)
- Added array_search which works similar to in_array but returns
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
values by reference, convert php values to extended variant types (currency,
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)
- PostgreSQL now does a rollback at the end of a request on every
persistent connection. This is done by doing an "empty" transaction
on the connection. This was advised by someone from the PostgreSQL
core-team. (Thies)
- Fixed PostgeSQL pg_connect() bug. We would sometimes close the default
link by accident. (Patch by: aja@nlgroup.ca)
- Improved OCI8 dead-session detection. (Patch by: George Schlossnagle)
- Fixed get_meta_tags() multiline bug #4556. (Sean)
- Prefer random() over *rand48(). (JimJag)
- Sped up WDDX serialization 2x. (Andrei)
- Added a new parameter to mail() which appends aditional command line
parameters to the mail program. (Derick)
- Added Udm_Clear_Search_Limits mnoGoSearch extension function. (gluke)
- Fixed mnogosearch protos. Fixed mnogosearch functions return values.
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)
- When using the ob_gzhandler() PHP now automagically also sets the
Content-Lengh correctly which enables browsers to use the HTTP
Keep-Alive feature. (Thies)
- Improved handling of preg_replace() /F modifier so that it's possible to
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)
- Major change of the php pdf api. It could break some functions though
backwards compatibility was tried to maintain. Adding some still
missing functions as well. (Uwe)
- Added mnoGoSearch extension - http://search.mnogo.ru. (Sergey K)
- Allow URL encoding in DB usernames and passwords. (Stig, PEAR)
- Added raiseError and setErrorHandling methods to PEAR class. (Stig, PEAR)
- Added support for converting images from JPG/PNG on the fly with the GD
extension, which is usefull for creating dynamic WAP-sites. (Derick)
- Updated ext/mysql/libmysql to version 3.23.32; bug fixes. (tim@mysql.com)
- Fixed possible crash in all (non-pcre) regex functions. (Thies)
- Improved str_replace() to accept an array for any parameter - similar
to preg_replace(). (Andrei)
- Fixed extract() to properly prefix numeric keys when EXTR_PREFIX_ALL is
used. (Andrei)
- Added EXTR_PREFIX_INVALID flag to extract() to automatically prefix
string keys that do not constitute valid variable names. (Andrei)
- BeOS patch from svanegmond@bang.dhs.org, modified somewhat by Rasmus.
- Fixed the Apache module to overwrite PATH_TRANSLATED with SCRIPT_FILENAME,
only if PATH_TRANSLATED is not previously set. (Zeev)
- Fixed crash bug in highlight_string(). (Rasmus)
- Added URL support for getimagesize() function. (Jani)
- Added xslt_set_scheme_handler() function. (carmelo@akooe.com)
- Added the pg_lolseek and pg_lotell functions. (Derick)
- Fixed wrong breaking with the wordwrap function. (Derick)
- Fixed 'O' and 'r' flags of date() to have correct sign for timezone
offset. (Andrei)
- Changed 'Z' flag to date() to always return timezone offset with
negative sign if it's west of UTC. (Andrei)
- Added the HTML_Processor class which provides common functions for
processing HTML. (Sterling)
- Added localeconv() and strcoll() functions for localization. (Sean)
- Added the xslt_set_base function. (Sterling)
- Added support for Zeus 3.3.8.
- Added odbc_error() and odbc_errormsg() functions. (Stig)
- New extension for vpopmail - http://www.inter7.com/vpopmail,
give it a try, but keep in mind that it is not ready for production
environments. (David Croft, Boian Bonev)
- Added sybase_get_last_message() to the Sybase CT module. (Jan Fedak)
- Made ldap_list(), ldap_read() and ldap_search() do parallel search when
first parameter is an array of link identifiers. (Stig Venaas)
- Made fopen() of HTTP URL follow redirects, $http_response_header will
contain all headers with empty string as delimiter. (Stig Venaas)
- Added Console_Getopt class for parsing command-line args. (Andrei, PEAR)
- Added an experimental version of the ZZipLib extension which provides the
ability to read zip files. (Sterling)
- Allow access to uploaded files in safe_mode. Beware that you can only
read the file. If you copy it to new location the copy will not have the
right UID and you script won't be able to access that copy. (Thies)
- Changed extract() to check that prefixed name is a valid one. (Andrei)
- Changed extract() to return the number of variables extracted. (Andrei)
- Added ldap_rename() function. (Stig Venaas)
- Made ldap_set_option() support controls. (Stig Venaas)
- Changed ldap_search() and added functions ldap_parse_result(),
ldap_first_reference(), ldap_next_reference() and ldap_parse_reference()
to cope with LDAPv3 stuff like referrals and references. (Stig Venaas)
- Fixed date('r') overflow.
- Made the php.ini path reported in phpinfo() always point to the absolute
path that was opened. (Zeev)
- Made the INI mechanism thread safe. (Zeev, Zend Engine)
- Changed setlocale() to use LC_* constants. (Jani)
- ctype functions now follow the extension naming conventions. (Hartmut)
- Added iconv() function (using libc or libiconv). (Stig)

can't see any other side effects. (Rasmus)
