35: =============================
1.1.1.2 ! misho 36: 1. Changes to INI directives
1.1 misho 37: =============================
38:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 39: - PHP 5.4 now checks at compile time if /dev/urandom or /dev/arandom
! 40: are present. If either is available, session.entropy_file now
! 41: defaults to that file and session.entropy_length defaults to 32.
! 42: This provides non-blocking entropy to session id generation. If you
! 43: do not want extra entropy for your session ids, add:
! 44:
! 45: session.entropy_file=
! 46: session.entropy_length=0
! 47:
! 48: to your php.ini to preserve pre-PHP 5.4 behavior.
! 49:
! 50: - Deprecated php.ini directives will now throw an E_CORE_WARNING's
! 51: instead of the previous E_WARNING's.
! 52:
! 53: - The following php.ini directives are no longer available in PHP 5.4
! 54: and will now throw an E_CORE_ERROR upon startup:
! 55: - allow_call_time_pass_reference
! 56: - define_syslog_variables
! 57: - highlight.bg
! 58: - magic_quotes_gpc
! 59: - magic_quotes_runtime
! 60: - magic_quotes_sybase
! 61: - register_globals
! 62: - register_long_arrays
! 63: - safe_mode
! 64: - safe_mode_gid
! 65: - safe_mode_include_dir
! 66: - safe_mode_exec_dir
! 67: - safe_mode_allowed_env_vars
! 68: - safe_mode_protected_env_vars
! 69: - session.bug_compat_42
! 70: - session.bug_compat_warn
! 71: - y2k_compliance
! 72: - zend.ze1_compatibility_mode
! 73:
! 74: - the following new php.ini directives were added:
! 75: - max_input_vars - specifies how many GET/POST/COOKIE input
! 76: variables may be accepted. The default value is 1000.
! 77:
! 78: - E_ALL now includes E_STRICT.
! 79:
! 80: - The recommended production value for error_reporting changed to E_ALL &
! 81: ~E_DEPRECATED & ~E_STRICT.
! 82:
! 83: - Added new session support directives:
! 84: session.upload_progress.enabled
! 85: session.upload_progress.cleanup
! 86: session.upload_progress.prefix
! 87: session.upload_progress.name
! 88: session.upload_progress.freq
! 89: session.upload_progress.min_freq
! 90:
! 91: - Added a zend.multibyte directive as a replacement of the PHP compile time
! 92: configuration option --enable-zend-multibyte. Now the Zend Engine always
! 93: contains code for multibyte support, which can be enabled or disabled at
! 94: runtime. Note: It doesn't make a lot of sense to enable this option if
! 95: ext/mbstring is not enabled, because most functionality is implemented by
! 96: mbstrings callbacks.
! 97:
! 98: - Added zend.script_encoding. This value will be used unless a
! 99: "declare(encoding=...)" directive appears at the top of the script.
! 100:
! 101: - Added zend.signal_check to check for replaced signal handlers on shutdown
! 102:
! 103: - Added enable_post_data_reading, which is enabled by default. When it's
! 104: disabled, the POST data is not read (or processed); the behavior is similar
! 105: to that of other request methods with body, like PUT. This allows reading
! 106: the raw POST data in multipart requests and reading/processing the POST data
! 107: in a stream fashion (through php://input) without having it copied in memory
! 108: multiple times.
! 109:
! 110: - Added windows_show_crt_warning. This directive shows the CRT warnings when
! 111: enabled. These warnings were displayed by default until now. It is disabled
! 112: by default.
! 113:
! 114: - Added cli.pager to set a pager for CLI interactive shell output.
! 115:
! 116: - Added cli.prompt to configure the CLI interactive shell prompt.
! 117:
! 118: - Added cli_server.color to enable the CLI web server to use ANSI color coding
! 119: in terminal output.
! 120:
! 121: ========================================
! 122: 2. Changes to reserved words and classes
! 123: ========================================
1.1 misho 124:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 125: - "callable", "insteadof" and "trait" are now reserved words.
1.1 misho 126:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 127: =============================
! 128: 3. Changes to engine behavior
! 129: =============================
1.1 misho 130:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 131: - The __construct arguments of an extended abstract constructor must
! 132: now match:
1.1 misho 133:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 134: abstract class Base
! 135: {
! 136: abstract public function __construct();
! 137: }
! 138: class Foo extends Base
! 139: {
! 140: public function __construct($bar) {}
! 141: }
! 142:
! 143: This now emits a Fatal error due the incompatible declaration.
! 144:
! 145: - In previous versions, superglobal names could be used for parameter
! 146: names, thereby shadowing the corresponding superglobal. In PHP 5.4
! 147: this now causes a fatal error such as "Cannot re-assign auto-global
! 148: variable GLOBALS".
! 149:
! 150: - Turning null, false or an empty string into an object by adding a
! 151: property will now emit a warning instead of an E_STRICT error.
! 152:
! 153: $test = null;
! 154: $test->baz = 1;
! 155:
! 156: To create a generic object you can use StdClass:
! 157:
! 158: $test = new StdClass;
! 159: $test->baz = 1;
! 160:
! 161: - Converting an array to a string now will cause an E_NOTICE warning.
! 162:
! 163: - Non-numeric string offsets, e.g. $a['foo'] where $a is a string, now
! 164: return false on isset() and true on empty(), and produce warning if
! 165: trying to use them. Offsets of types double, bool and null produce
! 166: notice. Numeric strings ($a['2']) still work as before.
! 167:
! 168: Note that offsets like '12.3' and '5 and a half' are considered
! 169: non-numeric and produce warning, but are converted to 12 and 5
! 170: respectively for backwards compatibility reasons.
! 171:
! 172: - Closures now support scopes and $this and can be rebound to
! 173: objects using Closure::bind() and Closure::bindTo().
! 174:
! 175: - <?= is now always available regardless of the short_open_tag
! 176: setting.
! 177:
! 178: - Parse error messages are changed to contain more information about
! 179: the error.
! 180:
! 181: ================================
! 182: 4. Changes to existing functions
! 183: ================================
! 184:
! 185: - array_combine now returns array() instead of FALSE when two empty arrays are
! 186: provided as parameters.
! 187:
! 188: - dns_get_record() has an extra parameter which allows requesting DNS records
! 189: by numeric type and makes the result include only the raw data of the
! 190: response.
! 191:
! 192: - call_user_func_array() no longer allows call-time pass by reference.
! 193:
! 194: - the default character set for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() is
! 195: now UTF-8. In previous versions it was ISO-8859-1. Note that changing
! 196: your output charset via the php.ini default_charset directive does not
! 197: affect htmlspecialchars/htmlentities unless you are passing "" (an
! 198: empty string) as the encoding parameter to your htmlspecialchars/htmlentities
! 199: calls.
! 200:
! 201: - htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() are stricter in the code units they
! 202: accept for the asian encodings. For Big5-HKSCS, the octets 0x80 and 0xFF are
! 203: rejected. For GB2312/EUC-CN, the octets 0x8E, 0x8F, 0xA0 and 0xFF are
! 204: rejected. For SJIS, the octets 0x80, 0xA0, 0xFD, 0xFE and 0xFF are rejected,
! 205: except maybe after a valid starting byte. For EUC-JP, the octets 0xA0 and
! 206: 0xFF are rejected.
! 207:
! 208: - htmlentities() now emits an E_STRICT warning when used with asian characters,
! 209: as in that case htmlentities has (and already had before this version) the
! 210: same functionality as htmlspecialchars.
! 211:
! 212: - htmlentities() no longer numerically encodes high characters for single-byte
! 213: encodings (except when there's actually a corresponding named entity). This
! 214: behavior was not documented and was inconsistent with that for "UTF-8".
! 215:
! 216: - html_entity_decode() and htmlspecialchars_decode() behave more consistently,
! 217: now decoding entities in malformed strings such as "&&" or "&#&".
! 218:
! 219: - htmlentities(), htmlspecialchars(), html_entity_decode(), and
! 220: htmlspecialchars_decode: Added the flags ENT_HTML401, ENT_XML1, ENT_XHTML,
! 221: and ENT_HTML5. The behavior of these functions including, but not limited to,
! 222: the characters that are encoded and the entities that are decoded depend on
! 223: the document type that is specified by those flags.
! 224:
! 225: - htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars() with !$double_encode do more strict
! 226: checks on the validity of the entities. Numerical entities are checked for a
! 227: valid range (0 to 0x10FFFF); if the flag ENT_DISALLOWED is given, the
! 228: validity of such numerical entity in the target document type is also
! 229: checked. Named entities are checked for necessary existence in the target
! 230: document type instead of only checking whether they were constituted by
! 231: alphanumeric characters.
! 232:
! 233: - The flag ENT_DISALLOWED was added. In addition to the behavior described in
! 234: the item before, it also makes htmlentities() and htmlspecialchars()
! 235: substitute characters that appear literally in the argument string and which
! 236: are not allowed in the target document type with U+FFFD (UTF-8) or �.
! 237:
! 238: - The flag ENT_SUBSTITUTE was added. This flag makes invalid multibyte
! 239: sequences be replaced by U+FFFD (UTF-8) or &#FFFD; by htmlspecialchars() and
! 240: htmlentities(). It is an alternative to the default behavior, which just
! 241: returns an empty string and to ENT_IGNORE, which is a security risk. The
! 242: behavior follows the recommendations of Unicode Technical Report #36.
! 243:
! 244: - htmlspecialchars_decode() and html_entity_decode() now decode ' if the
! 245: document type is ENT_XML1, ENT_XHTML, or ENT_HTML5.
! 246:
! 247: - Charset detection with $charset == '' no longer turns to mbstring's
! 248: internal encoding defined through mb_internal_encoding(). Only the encoding
! 249: defined through the php.ini setting mbstring.internal_encoding is considered.
! 250:
! 251: - number_format() no longer truncates multibyte decimal points and thousand
! 252: separators to the first byte.
! 253:
! 254: - The third parameter ($matches) to preg_match_all() is now optional. If
! 255: omitted, the function will simply return the number of times the pattern was
! 256: matched in the subject and will have no other side effects.
! 257:
! 258: - The second argument of scandir() now accepts SCANDIR_SORT_NONE (2) as a
! 259: possible value. This value results in scandir() performing no sorting: on
! 260: local filesystems, this allows files to be returned in native filesystem
! 261: order.
! 262:
! 263: - stream_select() now preserves the keys of the passed array, be they numeric or
! 264: strings. This breaks code that iterated the resulting stream array using a
! 265: numeric index, but makes easier to identify which of the passed streams are
! 266: present in the result.
! 267:
! 268: - stream_set_write_buffer() no longer disables the read buffer of a plain
! 269: stream when 0 is given as the second argument.
! 270:
! 271: - stream_set_write_buffer() no longer changes the chunk size in socket streams.
! 272:
! 273: - fclose() closes streams with resource refcount > 1; it doesn't merely
! 274: decrement the resource refcount.
! 275:
! 276: - socket_set_options() and socket_get_options() now support multicast options.
! 277:
! 278: - The raw data parameter in openssl_encrypt() and openssl_decrypt() is now an
! 279: options integer rather than a boolean. A value of true produces the same
! 280: behavior.
1.1 misho 281:
282: - Write operations within XSLT (for example with the extension sax:output) are
1.1.1.2 ! misho 283: disabled by default. You can define what is forbidden with the method
! 284: XsltProcess::setSecurityPrefs($options).
1.1 misho 285:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 286: - Added AES support to OpenSSL.
1.1 misho 287:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 288: - openssl_csr_new() expects the textual data to be in UTF-8.
1.1 misho 289:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 290: - Added no-padding option to openssl_encrypt() and openssl_decrypt().
1.1 misho 291:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 292: - Added a "no_ticket" SSL context option to disable the SessionTicket TLS
! 293: extension.
1.1 misho 294:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 295: - Added new json_encode() options: JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES,
! 296: JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK, JSON_BIGINT_AS_STRING, JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE.
1.1 misho 297:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 298: - Added Tokyo Cabinet and Berkley DB 5 support to DBA extension.
1.1 misho 299:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 300: - Added support for CURLOPT_MAX_SEND_SPEED_LARGE and CURLOPT_MAX_RECV_SPEED_LARGE
! 301: to cURL.
1.1 misho 302:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 303: - Added optional argument to debug_backtrace() and debug_print_backtrace()
! 304: to limit the amount of stack frames returned.
1.1 misho 305:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 306: - Fixed crypt_blowfish handling of 8-bit characters. crypt() in Blowfish mode
! 307: now supports hashes marked $2a$, $2x$, $2y$ and $2z$.
1.1 misho 308:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 309: - mbstring now supports following encodings: Shift_JIS/UTF-8 Emoji,
! 310: JIS X0213:2004 (Shift_JIS-2004, EUC-JP-2004, ISO-2022-JP-2004),
! 311: MacJapanese (Shift_JIS), gb18030.
1.1 misho 312:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 313: - Added encode and decode in hex format to mb_encode_numericentity() and
! 314: mb_decode_numericentity().
1.1 misho 315:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 316: - Added support for SORT_NATURAL and SORT_FLAG_CASE in array sort functions:
! 317: sort(), rsort(), ksort(), krsort(), asort(), arsort() and array_multisort().
1.1 misho 318:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 319: - is_a() and is_subclass_of() now have third boolean parameter, which specifies
! 320: if the first argument can be a string class name. Default if false for is_a
! 321: and true for is_subclass_of() for BC reasons.
1.1 misho 322:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 323: - ob_start() will now treat a chunk size of 1 as meaning 1 byte, rather than
! 324: the previous special case behavior of treating it as 4096 bytes.
1.1 misho 325:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 326: - idn_to_ascii() and idn_to_utf8() now take two extra parameters, one indicating
! 327: the variant (IDNA 2003 or UTS #46) and another, passed by reference, to return
! 328: details about the operation in case UTS #46 is chosen.
1.1 misho 329:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 330: - gzencode() used with FORCE_DEFLATE now generates RFC1950 compliant data.
1.1 misho 331:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 332: - ob_start() no longer starts multiple output buffers when passed
! 333: array("callback1", "callback2", "callback3", ...).
1.1 misho 334:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 335: ==============================
! 336: 5. Changes to existing classes
! 337: ==============================
1.1 misho 338:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 339: - Classes that implement stream wrappers can define a method called
! 340: stream_truncate that will respond to truncation, e.g. through ftruncate.
! 341: Strictly speaking, this is an addition to the user-space stream wrapper
! 342: template, not a change to an actual class.
1.1 misho 343:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 344: - Classes that implement stream wrappers can define a method called
! 345: stream_metadata that will be called on touch(), chmod(), chgrp(), chown().
1.1 misho 346:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 347: - Arrays cast from SimpleXMLElement now always contain all nodes instead of
! 348: just the first matching node.
1.1 misho 349:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 350: - All SimpleXMLElement children are now always printed when using var_dump(),
! 351: var_export(), and print_r().
1.1 misho 352:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 353: - Added iterator support in MySQLi. mysqli_result implements Traversable.
1.1 misho 354:

1.1 misho 363:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 364: - FilesystemIterator, GlobIterator and (Recursive)DirectoryIterator now use
! 365: the default stream context.
1.1 misho 366:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 367: ===========================
! 368: 7. Deprecated Functionality
! 369: ===========================
1.1 misho 370:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 371: - The following functions are deprecated in PHP 5.4:

! 373: - mysql_list_dbs()
1.1 misho 374:

418: ====================
1.1.1.2 ! misho 419: 9. Extension Changes
1.1 misho 420: ====================
421:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 422: a. Extensions no longer maintained
1.1 misho 423:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 424: - ext/sqlite is no longer part of the base distribution and has been moved
! 425: to PECL. Use sqlite3 or PDO_SQLITE instead.
1.1 misho 426:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 427: b. Extensions with changed behavior
1.1 misho 428:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 429: - The MySQL extensions (ext/mysql, mysqli and PDO_MYSQL) use mysqlnd
! 430: as the default library now. It is still possible to use libmysql by
! 431: specifying a path to the configure options.
! 432:
! 433: - PDO_MYSQL: Support for linking with MySQL client libraries older
! 434: than 4.1 is removed.
! 435:
! 436: - The session extension now can hook into the file upload feature
! 437: in order to provide upload progress information through session
! 438: variables.
! 439:
! 440: - SNMP extension
! 441: - Functions in SNMP extension now returns FALSE on every error
! 442: condition including SNMP-related (no such instance, end of MIB,
! 443: etc). Thus, in patricular, breaks previous behavior of get/walk
! 444: functions returning an empty string on SNMP-related errors.
! 445: - Multi OID get/getnext/set queries are now supported.
! 446: - New constants added for use in snmp_set_oid_output_format()
! 447: function.
! 448: - Function snmp_set_valueretrieval() changed it's behavior:
! 449: SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT can be combined with one of
! 450: SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY resulting OID value
! 451: changes. When no SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY
! 452: is supplied with SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT, SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY is used.
! 453: Prior to 5.4.0 when no SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY
! 454: was supplied with SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT, SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN was used.
! 455: - Added feature-rich OO API (SNMP class)
! 456: - Dropped UCD-SNMP compatibility code. Consider upgrading to
! 457: net-snmp v5.3+. Net-SNMP v5.4+ is required for Windows version.
! 458: - In sake of adding support for IPv6 DNS name resolution of
! 459: remote SNMP agent (peer) is done by extension now, not by Net-SNMP
! 460: library anymore.
! 461:
! 462: - Date extension
! 463: - Setting the timezone with the TZ environment variable is no longer
! 464: supported, instead date.timezone and/or date_default_timezone_set()
! 465: have to be used.
! 466: - The extension will no longer guess the default timezone if none
! 467: is set with date.timezone and/or date_default_timezone_set().
! 468: Instead it will always fall back to "UTC".
! 469:
! 470: - Hash extension
! 471: - the output of the tiger hash family has been corrected, see
! 472: https://bugs.php.net/61307
! 473:
! 474: ===========================
! 475: 10. Changes in SAPI support
! 476: ===========================
! 477:
! 478: - A REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT value returns a floating point number indicating the
! 479: time with microsecond precision. All SAPIs providing this value should be
! 480: returning float and not time_t.
! 481:
! 482: - apache_child_terminate(), getallheaders(), apache_request_headers()
! 483: and apache_response_headers() are now supported on FastCGI.
! 484:
! 485: - The interactive shell allows a shortcut #inisetting=value to change php.ini
! 486: settings at run-time.
1.1 misho 487:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 488: - The interactive shell now works with the shared readline extension.
1.1 misho 489:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 490: - The interactive shell no longer terminates on fatal errors.
1.1 misho 491:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 492: - A new PHP CLI command line option --rz <name> shows information about the
! 493: named Zend extension.
1.1 misho 494:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 495: ===================
! 496: 11. Windows support
! 497: ===================
1.1 misho 498:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 499: - is_link now works properly for symbolic links on Windows Vista
! 500: or later. Earlier systems do not support symbolic links.
1.1 misho 501:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 502: ==================
! 503: 12. New in PHP 5.4

! 516: trait HelloWorld {
! 517: public function sayHello() {
! 518: echo 'Hello World!';
! 519: }
! 520: }
1.1 misho 521:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 522: class CanIGetHello {
! 523: use HelloWorld;
! 524: }
1.1 misho 525:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 526: $hello = new CanIGetHello();
! 527: $hello->sayHello();
1.1 misho 528:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 529: - Function call result array access, e.g.:
! 530: foo()[0]
! 531: $foo->bar()[0]
1.1 misho 532:
1.1.1.2 ! misho 533: - Callable typehint indicating argument must be callable:
! 534: function foo(callable $do) {
! 535: }
! 536: foo("strcmp");
! 537: foo(function() {});
! 538: $o = new ArrayObject();
! 539: foo(array($o, "count"));
! 540:
! 541: - Short array syntax:
! 542: $a = [1, 2, 3, 4];
! 543: $a = ['one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3, 'four' => 4];
! 544: $a = ['one' => 1, 2, 'three' => 3, 4];
! 545:
! 546: - Binary number format:
! 547: 0b00100 0b010101
! 548:
! 549: - Chained string array offsets now work.
! 550: $a = "abc";
! 551: echo $a[0][0];
! 552:
! 553: - Anonymous functions now support using $this and class scope.
! 554: Anonymous function can be declared as "static" to ignore the scope.
! 555:
! 556: - Class::{expr}() syntax is now supported:
! 557: class A {
! 558: static function foo() {
! 559: echo "Hello world!\n";
! 560: }
! 561: }
! 562: $x = "f";
! 563: $y = "o";
! 564: A::{$x.$y.$y}();
! 565:
! 566: - Class member access on instantiation:
! 567: (new foo)->method()
! 568: (new foo)->property
! 569: (new foo)[0]
