<title>What has changed in PHP 5</title>

<para>
|
|
PHP 5 and the integrated Zend Engine 2 have greatly improved PHP's
|
|
performance and capabilities, but great care has been taken to break as
|
|
little existing code as possible. So migrating your code from PHP 4 to 5
|
|
should be very easy. Most existing PHP 4 code should be ready to run
|
|
without changes, but you should still know about the <link
|
|
linkend="migration5.incompatible">few differences</link> and
|
|
take care to test your code before switching versions in production
|
|
environments.

<title>Backward Incompatible Changes</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Although most existing PHP 4 code should work without changes, you should
|
|
pay attention to the following backward incompatible changes:
|
|
</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
<function>strrpos</function> and <function>strripos</function> now use

the entire string as a needle.

Illegal use of string offsets causes <constant>E_ERROR</constant> instead
|
|
of <constant>E_WARNING</constant>.

</simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
<function>array_merge</function> was changed to accept only arrays. If a
|
|
non-array variable is passed, a <constant>E_WARNING</constant> will be
|
|
thrown for every such parameter. Be careful because your code may start
|
|
emitting <constant>E_WARNING</constant> out of the blue.

PATH_TRANSLATED server variable is no longer set implicitly under
|
|
Apache2 SAPI in contrast to the situation in PHP 4, where it is set to
|
|
the same value as the SCRIPT_FILENAME server variable when it is not
|
|
populated by Apache. This change was made to comply with the <ulink
|
|
url="&url.cgispecs;">CGI specification</ulink>. Please refer to <ulink
|
|
url="&url.php.bugs;23610">bug #23610</ulink> for further information.

<simpara>
|
|
The <constant>T_ML_COMMENT</constant> constant is no longer defined by
|
|
the <link linkend="ref.tokenizer">Tokenizer</link> extension. If
|
|
error_reporting is set to <constant>E_ALL</constant>, PHP will
|
|
generate a notice. Although the <constant>T_ML_COMMENT</constant> was
|
|
never used at all, it was defined in PHP 4. In both PHP 4 and PHP 5
|
|
// and /* */ are resolved as the <constant>T_COMMENT</constant>
|
|
constant. However the PHPDoc style comments /** */, which starting PHP
|
|
5 are parsed by PHP, are recognized as <constant>T_DOC_COMMENT</constant>.

$_SERVER should be populated with argc and argv if <link
|
|
linkend="ini.variables-order">variables_order</link> includes "S". If
|
|
you have specifically configured your system to not create $_SERVER,
|
|
then of course it shouldn't be there. The change was to always make argc
|
|
and argv available in the CLI version regardless of the <link
|
|
linkend="ini.variables-order">variables_order</link> setting. As in,
|
|
the CLI version will now always populate the global $argc and $argv
|
|
variables.

In some cases classes must be declared before used. It only happens
|
|
only if some of the new features of PHP 5 are used. Otherwise the
|
|
behaviour is the old.

|
</simpara>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
<function>get_class</function> now returns the name of the class as it
|
|
was declared (case-sensitive) which may lead to problems in older scripts
|
|
that rely on the previous behaviour (the class name was always returned
|
|
lowercased). A possible solution is to search for
|
|
<function>get_class</function> in all your scripts and use
|
|
<function>strtolower</function>.
|
|
</simpara>
|
|
<simpara>
|
|
This case sensitivity change also applies to the
|
|
<link linkend="language.constants.predefined">magical predefined
|
|
constants</link> <constant>__CLASS__</constant>,
|
|
<constant>__METHOD__</constant>, and <constant>__FUNCTION__</constant>.
|
|
The values are returned exactly as they're declared (case-sensitive).

<listitem>
|

<simpara>

<function>ip2long</function> now returns &false; when an invalid IP

address is passed as argument to the function, and no longer

<literal>-1</literal>.

If there are functions defined in the included file, they can be used in the
|
|
main file independent if they are before <function>return</function> or after.
|
|
If the file is included twice, PHP 5 issues fatal error because functions
|
|
were already declared, while PHP 4 doesn't complain about it.
|
|
It is recommended to use <function>include_once</function> instead of
|
|
checking if the file was already included and conditionally return inside
|
|
the included file.

<title>CLI and CGI</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5 there were some changes in CLI and CGI filenames. In PHP 5, the
|
|
CGI version was renamed to <filename>php-cgi.exe</filename> (previously
|
|
<filename>php.exe</filename>) and the CLI version now sits in the main
|
|
directory (previously <filename>cli/php.exe</filename>).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5 it was also introduced a new mode:
|
|
<filename>php-win.exe</filename>. This is equal to the CLI version, except
|
|
that php-win doesn't output anything and thus provides no console (no "dos
|
|
box" appears on the screen). This behavior is similar to php-gtk.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5, the CLI version will always populate the global
|
|
<varname>$argv</varname> and <varname>$argc</varname> variables regardless
|
|
of any &php.ini; directive setting. Even having
|
|
<link linkend="ini.register-argc-argv">register_argc_argv</link> set to
|
|
<literal>off</literal> will have no affect in CLI.

Since the ISAPI modules changed their names, from php4xxx to php5xxx, you
|
|
need to make some changes in the configuration files. There were also
|
|
changes in the CLI and CGI filenames. Please refer to the <link
|

linkend="migration5.cli-cgi">corresponding section</link> for more
|

information.

Migrate the Apache configuration is extremely easy. See the example below
|
|
to check the change you need to do:

LoadModule php5_module /php/php5apache2.dll

If your webserver is running PHP in CGI mode, you should note that the
|
|
CGI version has changed its name from <filename>php.exe</filename> to
|
|
<filename>php-cgi.exe</filename>.
|
|
In Apache, you should do something like this:
|
|
<example>
|
|
<title>Migrating Apache configuration files for PHP 5, CGI mode</title>
|
|
<programlisting role="apache-conf">
|
|
<![CDATA[
|
|
# change this line:
|
|
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php.exe"
|
|
|
|
# with this one:
|
|
Action application/x-httpd-php "/php/php-cgi.exe"
|
|
]]>
|
|
</programlisting>
|
|
</example>
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>

In other webservers you need to change either the CGI or the ISAPI module
|
|
filenames.

There were some changes in PHP 5 regarding databases (MySQL and SQLite).

</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5 the MySQL client libraries are not bundled, because of license

problems and some others. For more information, read the <link

linkend="faq.databases.mysql.php5">FAQ entry</link>.

There is also a new extension, <link linkend="ref.mysqli">MySQLi (Improved

</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Since PHP 5, the <link linkend="ref.sqlite">SQLite</link> extension is
|
|
built-in PHP. SQLite is an embeddable SQL database engine and is not a
|
|
client library used to connect to a big database server (like MySQL or
|
|
PostgreSQL). The SQLite library reads and writes directly to and from the
|
|
database files on disk.

<title>New Object Model</title>
|
|
<para>
|
|
In PHP 5 there is a new Object Model. PHP's handling of objects has been
|
|
completely rewritten, allowing for better performance and more features.
|
|
In previous versions of PHP, objects were handled like primitive types
|
|
(for instance integers and strings). The drawback of this method was that
|
|
semantically the whole object was copied when a variable was assigned, or
|
|
pass as a parameter to a method. In the new approach, objects are
|
|
referenced by handle, and not by value (one can think of a handle as an
|
|
object's identifier).
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
Many PHP programmers aren't even aware of the copying quirks of the old
|
|
object model and, therefore, the majority of PHP applications will work
|
|
out of the box, or with very few modifications.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
The new Object Model is documented at the <link
|
|
linkend="language.oop5">Language Reference</link>.
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
See also the <link linkend="ini.zend.ze1-compatibility-mode">
|
|
zend.ze1_compatibility_mode</link> directive for compatability with
|
|
PHP 4.

<title>Error Reporting</title>

<para>
|

As of PHP 5 new error reporting constant E_STRICT was introduced with
|
|
value 2048. It enables run-time PHP suggestions on your code
|
|
interoperability and forward compatibility, that will help you to keep
|
|
latest and greatest suggested method of coding. E.g. STRICT message will

|
warn you on using deprecated functions.

E_ALL does not include E_STRICT so it's not enabled by default
