Re: PHP 4.0.7

There is one issue with 4.0.7 that probably should be fixed before branch. The build system currently adds a libtool flag into CFLAGS whether libtool is in link or compile mode. Since this option is only valid in compile, it gets passed to the compiler. This causes a warning with gcc, but for other compilers (a la SUN CC) they fail I emailed Sascha about this, and he said that these options have to be added to CFLAGS, in order to allow automake to still function correctly. So far it looks like the only solutions, is to get rid of automake, and if that is done, I would think that it should occur before branch. -Jason ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zeev Suraski" <zeev@zend.com> To: <php-dev@lists.php.net>; <php-qa@lists.php.net> Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 1:48 PM Subject: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0.7 > As those of you who are subscribed to php-cvs may have noticed, Andi and I > implemented today the functionality I suggested to replace register_globals: > > - $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_FILES, $_ENV and $_SERVER replace $HTTP_*_VARS > (the old vars still remain for downwards compatibility) > - The new variables are auto-globals - they're available in all function > contexts - there's no need to import them using the 'global' statement or > reference them using $GLOBALS. > - $_REQUEST (this name might change) - includes the data from $_GET, > $_POST, $_COOKIE and $_FILES, all in one array, for those users who don't > really care to differentiate between the various types of input. > > This change was my last major TODO item for PHP 4.0.7.
