PHP 5.0.0 Released!

[13-Jul-2004] The PHP team is proud to announce the final release of PHP 5!

Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:

* The Zend Engine II with a new object model and dozens of new features.
* XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now focused around the excellent libxml2 library (http://www.xmlsoft.org/).
* A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.
* A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
* A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and later. This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features, such as prepared statements.
* SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite, please visit their website.
* Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access low-level socket operations on streams.
* And lots more...

For changes since Release Candidate 3, please consult the ChangeLog.

ah so it is the final release of PHP5? lol

As of right now PHP5 is not recomended by the Devs :) However, some of the people who use PHP5, havent reported that many problems. I am guessing only a matter of time.

I had some problems with PHP 5 RC 1 although PHP 5.0.1 works fine with vBulletin

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Normally, for the next version of vBulletin, PHP5 will be also recommended to use. (See the last announce)

Is PHP 5 "certified" yet? In other words, is there a place where pitfalls and lessons learned have been aggregated? Anything like that before I begin this massive ordeal?

(It shouldn't be an ordeal, but like most things related to computing, it WILL be!)

I've been running PHP5 on a server for a couple of weeks now. No real problems, most things I've run, run as they would on PHP4. It's not a production server and is really just something I use to host a few sites and do some testing on.

Would be best to find some PHP5 hosting or pick up a vps/cheap dedicated to test things out for yourself before you implement it on any production/business critical servers.

I run vBulletin on localhost with php5 and php4 (switch between the two). Have no problems with the latest version of both php versions, have not done it in production yet tho. :)
