<h1>PHP 5 Release Candidate 1 Released!</h1>
<p>
<span class="newsdate">[18-Mar-2004]</span>
The <a href="/downloads.php#v5">first Release Candidate of PHP 5</a> is finally
here! The move from Beta stage to RC stage means that PHP 5 is now feature
complete, and is quite stable - stable enough for everyone to start playing
with. Note that it is still <i>not</i> recommended for mission-critical
use.
</p>
<p>Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:</p>
<ul>
<li>
The <a href="http://www.zend.com/php5/zend-engine2.php">Zend Engine II</a>
with a new object model and dozens of new features.
</li>
<li>
XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5, all extensions are now
focused around the excellent libxml2 library
(<a href="http://www.xmlsoft.org/">http://www.xmlsoft.org/</a>).
</li>
<li>
A new MySQL extension named MySQLi for developers using MySQL 4.1 and later.
This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to
a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features,
such as prepared statements.
</li>
<li>
SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite,
please visit <a href="http://www.sqlite.org/">their website</a>.
</li>
<li>
A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
</li>
<li>
A new SimpleXML extension for easily accessing and manipulating XML as
PHP objects. It can also interface with the DOM extension and vice-versa.
</li>
<li>
Streams have been greatly improved, including the ability to access
low-level socket operations on streams.
</li>
<li>And lots more...</li>
</ul>
