Ahkay, so I was wondering with PHP 5 either completed or close their to, does anyone much about it? For instance, I was wondering if there are any large differences? I’m guessing new functions, but I’ve heard it’s now fully Object Oriented. I’m confused (or stupid, maybe both) what does this mean? Is their a syntax differnt? Has the source changed? What exactly is up?

@shimonJul 06.2004 — PHP5? Definitely looking forward to it ?

There's a nice overview of the features here:

Harry goes into quite a lot of detail here:

I think the chages can be summed up as:[list]
  • [*]Much improved support for OOP

  • [*]Better error handling with a try/catch construct, a 'throw' statement and a built in Exception class

  • [*]Completely re-written XML engine - [url=http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/php/2004/01/15/simplexml.html]simplexml[/url] looks great (and simple!)
  • [/list]
    I have it on my desktop linux box here, though since our production environment is PHP4 and will be for some time, I haven't really been able to let rip with it, but one day...
