PHP 6 On Its Way

It was not long before and still some hosting companies provide PHP 4 to customers, now all of these hosting companies have no other option as PHP6 hits the season.They need to upgrade their hardware to meet the demands.

Lots and lots of new functionality added and some removed from Php 5.More than the things they are adding I am happy at the things they are removing like register_globals and safe_mode.Safe_mode was introduced to make php safe but it turned out the complete opposite.They are also doing away with magic quotes

Features that will be removed from the PHP version include:

    magic_quotes.

    register_globals.

    register_long_arrays.

    safe_mode.

The Web 2.0

SOAP is essentially becoming the most commercially important feature of PHP and due care is given in aspect along with The XMLWriter and XMLReader are stream-based object-oriented classes that allow you to read and write XML without having to worry about the XML details.

You cannot download a pre-built package of PHP 6 as of now,All the eager folks have to wait or download and install a development snapshot of PHP 6 now to check out the new features and verify whether your PHP5 scripts remain functional or not. Since PHP 6 removes some backwards-compatibility features.

You have to use snaps version for now available here…Snapshot Builds
