2. New Features
3. Changes in SAPI modules
4. Deprecated Functionality
5. Changed Functions
6. New Functions
7. New Classes and Interfaces
8. Removed Extensions and SAPIs
9. Other Changes to Extensions

11. Changes to INI File Handling
12. Windows Support
13. Other Changes
14. Performance Improvements
========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
- Date:
. DateTime::createFromImmutable() now has a tentative return type of static,
previously it was DateTime.
. DateTimeImmutable::createFromMutable() now has a tentative return type of static,
previously it was DateTimeImmutable.
- ODBC:
. The ODBC extension now escapes the username and password for the case when
both a connection string and username/password are passed, and the string
must be appended to. Before, user values containing values needing escaping
could have created a malformed connection string, or injected values from
user-provided data. The escaping rules should be identical to the .NET BCL
DbConnectionOptions behaviour.
- PDO_ODBC:
. The PDO_ODBC extension also escapes the username and password when a
connection string is passed. See the change to the ODBC extension for
further details.
- Standard:
. glob() returns empty array if all paths are restricted by open_basedir.
Previously the error was returned but that behavior was not consistent and
did not work correctly for all patterns.
. strtolower() and strtoupper() are no longer locale-sensitive. They now
perform ASCII case conversion, as if the locale were "C". Use
mb_strtolower() if you want localized case conversion. Similarly, stristr,
stripos, strripos, lcfirst, ucfirst, ucwords, str_ireplace,
array_change_key_case and sorting with SORT_FLAG_CASE use ASCII case
conversion.
. str_split() returns an empty array for an empty string now. Previously it
returned an array with a single empty string entry. mb_str_split() is not
affected by this change since it was already behaving like that.
. ksort() and krsort() do numeric string comparison under SORT_REGULAR using
the standard PHP 8 rules now.
- SPL:
. The following methods now enforce their signature:
* SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex()
* SplFileObject::getCsvControl()
* SplFileObject::fflush()
* SplFileObject::ftell()
* SplFileObject::fgetc()
* SplFileObject::fpassthru()
. SplFileObject::hasChildren() now has a tentative return type of false,
previously it was bool
. SplFileObject::getChildren() now has a tentative return type of null,
previously it was ?RecursiveIterator
. GlogIterator returns empty array if all paths are restricted by
open_basedir. Previously the error was returned but that behavior was not
consistent and did not work correctly.
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
- Core:
. Added the #[\SensitiveParameter] attribute to redact sensitive data in
backtraces.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/redact_parameters_in_back_traces
. It is now possible to use null and false as standalone types.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/null-false-standalone-types
. Added support for readonly classes.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/readonly_classes
. Added support for true type.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/true-type
. Added support for Disjoint Normal Form (DNF) types.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/dnf_types
. Added error_log_mode ini setting that allows setting of permissions for
error log file.
. Added support for fetching properties of enums in constant expressions.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fetch_property_in_const_expressions
. Added support for defining constants in traits.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constants_in_traits
- Curl:
. Added CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD option and returning the effective
HTTP method in curl_getinfo() return value.
. Exposed multiple new constants from libcurl 7.62 to 7.80.
. Added new function curl_upkeep() to perform any connection upkeep checks.
- DBA:
. The LMDB Driver now accepts the DBA_LMDB_USE_SUB_DIR or DBA_LMDB_NO_SUB_DIR
flags to determine if it should create a sub directory or not when creating
a database file.
- OCI8:
. Added an oci8.prefetch_lob_size directive and oci_set_prefetch_lob()
function to tune LOB query performance by reducing the number of
round-trips between PHP and Oracle Database when fetching LOBS. This is
usable with Oracle Database 12.2 or later.
- OpenSSL:
. Added AEAD support for chacha20-poly1305 algorithm.
- ODBC:
. Added odbc_connection_string_is_quoted, odbc_connection_string_should_quote,
and odbc_connection_string_quote. These are primarily used behind the scenes
in the ODBC and PDO_ODBC extensions, but is exposed to userland for easier
unit testing, and for user applications and libraries to perform quoting
themselves.
- PCRE:
. Added support for the "n" (NO_AUTO_CAPTURE) modifier, which makes simple
`(xyz)` groups non-capturing. Only named groups like `(?<name>xyz)` are
capturing. This only affects which groups are capturing, it is still
possible to use numbered subpattern references, and the matches array will
still contain numbered results.
- Random:
. New extension that organizes and consolidates existing implementations
related to random number generators. New, higher quality RNGs are available
and scope issues are eliminated.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rng_extension
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/random_extension_improvement
========================================
3. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
========================================
4. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
- Core:
. Creation of dynamic properties is deprecated, unless the class opts in by
using the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute. stdClass allows dynamic
properties. Usage of __get()/__set() is not affected by this change. A
dynamic properties deprecation warning can be addressed by:
- Declaring the property (preferred).
- Adding the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute to the class (which also
applies to all child classes).
- Using a WeakMap if you wish to associate additional data with an object
you do not own.
. Callables that are not accepted by the $callable() syntax (but are accepted
by call_user_func) are deprecated. In particular:
"self::method"
"parent::method"
"static::method"
["self", "method"]
["parent", "method"]
["static", "method"]
["Foo", "Bar::method"]
[new Foo, "Bar::method"]
This does not affect normal method callables like "A::method" or
["A", "method"].
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_partially_supported_callables
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partially-supported-callables-expand-deprecation-notices
. The "${var}" and "${expr}" style string interpolations are deprecated and
will be removed in PHP 9. Use "$var"/"{$var}" or "{${expr}}", respectively.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_dollar_brace_string_interpolation
- Mbstring:
. Use of QPrint, Base64, Uuencode, and HTML-ENTITIES 'text encodings' is
deprecated for all Mbstring functions. Unlike all the other text
encodings supported by Mbstring, these do not encode a sequence of
Unicode codepoints, but rather a sequence of raw bytes. It is not
clear what the correct return values for most Mbstring functions should
be when one of these non-encodings is specified. Further, PHP has
separate, built-in implementations of all of them; for example, UUencoded
data can be handled using convert_uuencode/convert_uudecode.
- SPL:
. The SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex() internal method has been deprecated.
- Standard:
. utf8_encode() and utf8_decode() have been deprecated.
========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================
- Core
. str*cmp, str*pos, substr_compare functions, using binary safe string
comparison now return -1, 0 and 1.
- DBA
. dba_open() and dba_popen() now have the following enforced function signature
dba_open(string $path, string $mode, ?string $handler = null, int $permission = 0o644, int $map_size = 0, ?int $flags = null)
. dba_fetch()'s optional skip argument is now at the end in line with
PHP userland semantics its signature now is:
dba_fetch(string|array $key, $dba, int $skip = 0): string|false
The overloaded signature
dba_fetch(string|array $key, $skip, $dba): string|false
is still accepted, but it is recommended to use the new standard variant.
- Random
. random_bytes() and random_int() now throw \Random\RandomException on CSPRNG failure.
Previously a plain \Exception was thrown.
- SPL
. The $iterator parameter of iterator_to_array() and iterator_count() is
widened to iterable from Iterator, allowing arrays to be passed.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/iterator_xyz_accept_array
- XML
. xml_parser_set_option() now actually returns false when attempting to set a
negative tag start. Previously it returned true while emitting an E_WARNING.
========================================
6. New Functions
========================================
- Curl:
. curl_upkeep() (libcurl >= 7.62.0)
- mysqli:
. mysqli_execute_query()
- OpenSSL:
. openssl_cipher_key_length(): Returns a key length for the supplied
cipher.
- Reflection:
. ReflectionFunction::isAnonymous()
. ReflectionMethod::hasPrototype()
- Sodium:
. sodium_crypto_stream_xchacha20_xor_ic()
- Standard:
. The peak memory usage can now be reset to the current usage thanks to
memory_reset_peak_usage().
. ini_parse_quantity(): Parses "shorthand bytes" quantities returned by
ini_get(). The function is suitable for parsing quantities whose int value
is in the range [PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX].
Parsing and interpretation is consistent with ini_set() (see also the
"Changes to INI File Handling" section).
Caveats: Some ini settings may apply additional constraints to the resuling
int value, such as a smaller range, that will not be reflected by
ini_parse_quantity(). The `memory_limit` setting accepts values higher than
PHP_INT_MAX, than can not be parsed by ini_parse_quantity().
- XML:
. libxml_get_external_entity_loader()
========================================
7. New Classes and Interfaces
========================================
========================================
8. Removed Extensions and SAPIs
========================================
========================================
9. Other Changes to Extensions
========================================
- Date:
. DatePeriod properties are now properly declared.
- Intl:
. IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator, IntlCodePointBreakIterator,
IntlPartsIterator, IntlCalendar, IntlCalendar, Collator, IntlIterator,
UConverter, IntlDateFormatter, IntlDatePatternGenerator, MessageFormatter,
ResourceBundle, Spoofchecker, IntlTimeZone and Transliterator instances are
no longer serializable. Previously, they could be serialized, but
unserialization yielded unusable objects or failed.
- mysqli:
. The support for libmysql has been removed. It's no longer possible to compile
mysqli with libmysql and all relevant functionality has been removed.
. The reconnect property of mysqli_driver has been removed. It was supported only by libmysql.
. The INI directive mysqli.reconnect has been removed.
. The constant MYSQLI_IS_MARIADB has been deprecated.
- OCI8:
. The minimum Oracle Client library version required is now 11.2.
- PCRE:
. NUL characters (\0) in pattern strings are now supported.
- Session:
. Trying to change the SameSite cookie INI setting while the session is
active or output has already been sent will now fail and emit a warning.
This aligns the behaviour with all other session INI settings.
- SQLite3:
. sqlite3.defensive is now PHP_INI_USER.
- Standard:
. getimagesize() now reports the actual image dimensions, bits and channels
of AVIF images. Previously, the dimensions have been reported as 0x0, and
bits and channels have not been reported at all.
- Tidy:
. tidy properties are now properly declared.
. tidyNode properties are now properly declared as readonly.
- Zip:
. extension updated to 1.20.0 with new methods:
ZipArchive::clearError, getStreamName and getStreamIndex

11. Changes to INI File Handling
========================================
- Support for binary and octal number prefixes for INI settings has been added.
Previously only hexadecimal prefixes and using a leading 0 for octal numbers
was supported.
- Parsing of some ill-formatted values will now trigger a warning when this was
silently ignored before. Interpretation of these values is not changed, for
backwards compatibility. This affects the following settings:
. bcmath.scale
. com.code_page
. default_socket_timeout
. fiber.stack_size
. hard_timeout
. intl.error_level
. ldap.max_links
. max_input_nesting_level

12. Windows Support
========================================
- Core:
. Windows specific error messages are no longer localized, but instead in
English to better match PHP error messages.
. Preliminary and highly experimental support for building on ARM64 has been
added.
- OCI8:
. Since building against Oracle Client 10g is no longer supported anyway,
the configuration option --with-oci8 has been dropped. --with-oci8-11g,
--with-oci8-12c and --with-oci8-19 are still supported.
- Zip:
. The Zip extension upgraded to version 1.21.0
. The Zip extension is now built as shared library (DLL) by default.
========================================
13. Other Changes
========================================
- CLI:
. The STDOUT, STDERR and STDIN are no longer closed on resource destruction
which is mostly when the CLI finishes. It is however still possible to
explicitly close those streams using fclose and similar.
- Core:
. The iterable type is now a built-in compile time alias for array|Traversable.
Error messages relating to iterable will therefore now use array|Traversable.
Type Reflection is preserved for single iterable (and ?iterable) to produce
a ReflectionNamedType with name iterable, however usage of iterable in
union types will be converted to array|Traversable
