Two great things that go great together<br /> Combination wins Database of the Year Award at Web98 </h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[22-Jun-1998]</span> "The substance of the Web is more and more residing in databases, and there are a variety of methods used to generate Web pages. This year, we selected a pair of "free software" tools that work together quite nicely as a platform for building dynamic content. The award is also a tribute to the Open Source initiative; both products are used, developed and supported by interlocking communities of people on the Net." </p> <hr /> <h1>PHP 3.0 Released</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[06-Jun-1998]</span> PHP 3.0 is finally here! After 10 months of development PHP Version 3.0 is ready for production environments. Coupled with the release of the final version of Apache-1.3.0 today, the combination provides an unbeatable web hosting platform suitable for both small and large web sites. </p> <p> PHP 3.0 is the latest evolution of the PHP/FI 2.0 language and it offers some dramatic enhancements. It is more than twice as fast, it uses less memory, it has a more consistent language implementation and a much wider set of expressions and language features than PHP/FI 2.0. An included conversion program will help you migrate your PHP 2 scripts to PHP 3. </p> <p> <a href="http://cvs.php.net/co.php/phpweb/Attic/release-3.0.txt?sa=1&amp;login=2&amp;r=1.2">Read the full anouncement</a>. </p> <hr /> <h1>PHP Meaning Vote</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[18-Apr-1998]</span> <strong>PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor</strong> was chosen as the official meaning of the PHP acronym with 53% of the votes.

The web site <a href="http://www.marspolarlander.com"> www.marspolarlander.com</a> is powered by a combination of PHP, MySQL and Perl scripts. <a href="http://www.netapp.com/tech_library/3071.html">There is an architecture description here</a>. This architecture document doesn't say very much about PHP other than the fact that PHP is used as the Web scripting language, but it has an interesting description of how they built a large scaleable system and it proves nicely that PHP is up to the task of being part of such a large-scale deployment. </p> <hr /> <h1>PHP 4.0 Beta 3 is out!</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[17-Nov-1999]</span> Three months after PHP 4.0 Beta 2 was released, Beta 3 is finally here. This release has a lot of changes, including a "pure" automake/libtool-based build system, Java support and lots of other stuff. All 4.0 beta users are encouraged to upgrade. </p> <hr /> <h1>LinuxWorld Editors' Choice Awards</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[31-Jul-1999]</span> PHP is a Finalist in the LinuxWorld Editors' Choice Awards to be presented on Aug.11 in San Jose, CA.

If 3.0.10 worked for you, there's probably no need to upgrade. 3.0.10 featured bug fixes, including the last of the fsockopen() and URL fopen() problems, we hope. The dbm database abstraction layer had the mode flag for dba_open() brought into line with dbm_open(), which means "w" will not create a non-existent database (use "c" instead). The documentation has also been moved into its own repository, and the generated HTML documentation is included in the tar.gz instead of the SGML source. For a more complete list of all of the changes, see the ChangeLog. </p> <hr /> <h1>PHP 3.0.9 has been released!</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[06-June-1999]</span> More bug fixes, including many in the OCI8 module, and an important fix for fgets() on socket connections.

A security update, <a href="downloads.php">PHP 4.2.2</a>, fixes the issue. Everyone running affected versions of PHP is encouraged to upgrade immediately. The new 4.2.2 release doesn't include other changes, so upgrading from 4.2.1 is safe and painless. </p> <hr /> <h1>New comp.lang.php newsgroup started</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[09-Jul-2002]</span> comp.lang.php was created yesterday, after a two and a half month long process started in April by Ian Fette resulted in a <a href="http://groups.google.com/groups?q=comp.lang.php&amp;hl=en&amp;lr=&amp;ie=UTF-8&amp;selm=1025483879.39561&amp;40isc.org&amp;rnum=3">177-11 vote</a> in favor of the group. The new group is already carried on most news servers, and should be carried on almost all news servers in the world within the next few days. </p> <p> The new group is important for a few reasons: Firstly, the old alt.* php groups suffered from poor propagation - i.e. not all servers carried them, and the community was split between multiple groups. This new group offers a chance to unite the PHP-Usenet community. Secondly, most servers have longer post-retention times for comp.* than alt.*. Finally, the creation of comp.lang.php represents PHP's coming to acceptance and maturity. Virtually all languages have a spot under the comp.lang.* hierarchy. Stop on by and become a part of the community - comp.lang.php is a great place to get help and to help others. </p> <hr /> <?php print_image("news/engine.gif", "Zend Engine 2", "right"); ?> <h1>Alpha 2 of PHP w/ the Zend Engine 2 Now Available</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[30-Jun-2002]</span> The second alpha release of PHP w/ Zend Engine 2 is <a href="/downloads.php">now available</a>.

This is a maintenance release that addresses a serious memory corruption problem within PHP concerning references. If references were used in a wrong way, PHP could create memory corruptions which would not always surface or be visible. The increased middle digit was required because the fix that corrected the problem with references changed PHP's internal API, breaking binary compatibility with the PHP 4.3.* series. PHP 4.4.0 does not have any new features, and is solely a bugfix release; however, it is strongly recommended that you read the more detailed release announcement <a href="release_4_4_0.php">available here</a> prior to upgrading your PHP 4 installation. </p> <p> For changes in PHP 4.4.0 since PHP 4.3.11, please consult the <a href="/ChangeLog-4.php#4.4.0">PHP 4 ChangeLog</a>. </p> <hr /> <h1>PEAR XML_RPC Vulnerability and PHP 4.4.0RC2 release</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[01-Jul-2005]</span> An easily exploitable security issue was discovered in PEAR XML_RPC &lt;= 1.3.0. We recommend that users of this PEAR class immediately upgrade to the latest version with: </p> <pre> pear upgrade XML_RPC </pre> <p> The same security problem exists in many other XML RPC implementations, please check if the installed applications that you use might have a similar problem. </p> <p> The new PEAR XML_RPC package is also bundled with the second release candidation of PHP 4.4.0RC2. Besides this new PEAR package there are two minor issues fixed since PHP 4.4.0RC1. As the improved reference support in PHP 4.4 might show as notices and warnings in your existing applications - in cases where PHP formerly just silently ignored this and often causing memory corruptions - we also recommend to test PHP 4.4.0RC2 with your applications. The final release is planned for July 11th. PHP 4.4.0RC2 can be found <a href="http://qa.php.net/~derick/">here</a>. </p> <hr /> <?php news_image("http://zend.kbconferences.com/", "zendphp_conf.gif", "Zend/PHP Conference &amp; Expo"); ?> <h1>Zend/PHP Conference 2005</h1> <p> <span class="newsdate">[23-Jun-2005]</span> The <a href="http://zend.kbconferences.com/">Zend/PHP Conference</a> is taking place at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport on October 18-21, 2005.
