PHP 4 NEWS
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
?? ??? 2002, Version 4.3.0
- Made crack extension available to Win32. Cracklib libraries for Win32 are
available from http://www.jtatesoftware.com/cracklib/. (jtate)
- Added mysql_info() function. (Jan)
- Added mysql_list_processes() and mysql_stat() functions. (Georg)
- Added file_get_contents($filename), which returns the contents of a file
as a string. It also supports URL wrappers. (Wez)
- Changed fopen wrappers ('php://', 'bz2://' and 'zlib://') to require the
'://' separator (instead of simply 'php:', 'bz2:' and 'zlib:') to avoid
ambiguities when filenames have ':' characters. (Wez)
- Added URL-wrapper support to exif. (Marcus)
- PHP now has a new stream system that allows it to do some clever stuff with
fopen() and fsockopen(). As a result:
. URL wrappers natively supports https:// URLs
. fsockopen() adds support for ssl:// and tls:// connections via TCP/IP
. copy($srcfilename, $destfilename) can now be used with URL wrappers
. zlib wrappers/streams can be used even on systems without fopencookie()
. Added BZip2 stream support.
. Added user-space streams - it is now possible to define a class in PHP
code and register it as a URL wrapper.
. Most extensions now support streams when passing files, which means
that those extensions will support URL wrappers. (Wez)
. Added memory stream support. (Marcus)
- Fixed memory allocation problem on systems that have iconv() support in libc.
(Yasuo)
- Made var_dump() handle recursive structures better. (Yasuo)
- Added exif_imagetype() function. (Marcus)
- Added domxml functions:
domxml_elem_get_elements_by_tagname()
domxml_doc_get_elements_by_tagname()
domxml_doc_get_element_by_id()
domxml_elem_remove_attribute()
domxml_elem_get_attribute_node() (Chregu)
- Fixed a segfault in domxml_unlink(). (jtate)
- Added formatting option to domxml_dump_mem(). (Chregu)
- New improved build system. Among other improvements, replaces the slow
recursive make with one global Makefile and eases the integration of proper
dependencies. Automake is only needed for its aclocal tool. The build
process is now more portable and less resource-consuming. (Sascha)
?? ??? 2002, Version 4.2.0
- ATTENTION!! register_globals defaults to 'off' now !!!
- Modified the mysql extension to disable 'LOAD LOCAL' when safe mode is
enabled. (Jason)
- Added CLI (command line interface) sapi which is more suitable for writing
shell scripts. Some of the differences to CGI sapi are: no HTTP headers,
plain text error messages, does not change working directory, have a new -r
option which executes a piece of PHP code directly from the commmand line, etc.
"make install" will install CLI SAPI version of php in {PREFIX}/bin/php while
CGI is renamed and installed as {PREFIX}/bin/php-cgi. (Edin)
- Fixed HTTP file upload support to handle big files better. (Jani)
- Major modifications to the Sockets Extension and its API (Jason):
. Fixed numerous bugs.
. Added automatic host lookup capability to all functions that take addr's.
example: socket_connect($sock, 'www.yahoo.com', 80);
. Corrected and standardized host lookup errors
. Modified socket_recv() behavior. [$r=socket_recv($sock, $buf, $len, $flags)]
. Added socket_set_block() which changes a socket into blocking IO mode
. Modified socket_last_error() to not clear the last error
. Added socket_clear_error() which clears the last error on a socket
. Removed all code pertaining to fd_sets (socket_fd_*)
. Modified/Improved socket_select() to accept array of resources instead of
fd_sets. example:
<?php
$wfds=$rfds=array($sock1, $sock2, $sock3, $sock7);
$r=socket_select($rfds, $wfds, NULL, 1);
print "Ready to read:\n"; var_dump($rfds);
?>
- Added optional 3rd parameter "int encoding_mode" to gzencode() and fixed
parameters to conform documentation. (Stefan)
- Changed read_exif_data() to be an alias of exif_read_data(). (Marcus)
- Added exif_tagname() function which returns the names of tags and
exif_thumbnail() function to extract embedded thumbnails. (Marcus)
- Fixed iconv support with FreeBSD. (kalowsky)
- Cleaned up the posix extension: (Markus)
. Removed unwanted warning messages
. Added posix_errno() and posix_strerror() for fetching error messages
. Changed the way posix_getgrnam() and posix_getgrgid() return their values
(breaks BC but makes more sense)
. Does not include functions in symbol table which aren't supported on host
system.
- Added TIFF support for getimagesize() and read_exif_data(). (Marcus)
- Changed the Velocis extension namespace to Birdstep to reflect new product
name. Added aliases for BC. (James)
- Added safe_mode checks for opendir(). (jflemer)
- Changed the 2nd parameter in pgsql_fetch_*() functions to support NULL if
all 3 parameters are supplied, but you do not want to provide a row number.
(Derick)
- Improved iconv() when using libc's iconv. (Yasuo)
- Added PHP_SAPI constant which contains the name of running SAPI. (Edin)
- Added ob_get_status() which returns an array of buffers with their status.
(Yasuo)
- Fixed a crash bug in ob_end_*() functions. ob_end_*() will not delete
buffers that may not be deleted. (Yasuo)
- Added 3rd parameter "bool erase" to ob_start(). If FALSE, the buffer may not
be deleted until script finishes. (Yasuo)
- Changed ob_*() functions to return TRUE for success, FALSE for failure.
(Yasuo)
- Added sybase_ct support to dbx module. (Marc)
- Fixed error message handling with PostgreSQL 7.2. (Rui)
- Added object aggregation capability, see aggregation_*() functions. (Andrei)
- Added debug_zval_dump() which works similarly to var_dump, but displays
extra internal information such as refcounts and true type names. (Jason)
- Added Andrei's tokenizer extension. (Stig)
- Fixed a bug in the COM extension which caused php to crash in
php_COM_get_ids_of_names(). (Paul, Harald)
- Removed ext/satellite. It is now part of PEAR. (eriksson)
- Changed php.ini directive 'safe_mode_include_dir' to accept a (semi)colon
separated path (like 'include_path') rather than a single directory.
(jflemer)
- Added is_a() function that can be used to test whether object is of a certain
class or is derived from it. (Andrei, Zend Engine)
- Added optional parameter to highlight_string() and highlight_file() which
makes these functions to return a highlighted string instead of dumping
it to standard output. (Derick)
- Added EXTR_IF_EXISTS and EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS flags to extract(). (Rasmus)
- Fixed a segfault in pg_pconnect(). If PostgreSQL server is restarted, broken
connection is detected and reconnected. (Yasuo)
- Fixed --enable-safe-mode configure option. (Yasuo)
- Added function domxml_dump_node($doc,$node). Dumps a node plus all children
into a string. (chregu)
- Added function domxml_node_get_content(). (chregu)
- Added function domxml_dump_file($filename,[$compression]). Dumps XML to
a file and uses compression, if specified. (chregu)
- Added exslt integration to domxml extension (http://exslt.org for details).
Configure with --with-dom-exslt[=DIR] (and --with-dom-xslt).
(chregu,jaroslaw)
- Fixed session_unset() to not touch any globals if register_globals is off.
(Thies)
- Added 3 new optional parameters to OCIFetchStatement(). They control
the number of rows to skip at the beginning of the cursor, the
maximun numer of rows that should be fetched and the format of the
returned array. (Thies)
- Updated the XSLT extension to support Sablotron 0.8. (Petr Cimprich)
- Fixed a bug in preg_match() and preg_match_all() when matching strings
contain null bytes. (Andrei)
- Added xpath_register_ns() function. This makes it possible to issue XPath
