PHP 5 ChangeLog
Version 5.0.0 Release Candidate 1
18-Mar-2004
- Fixed numerous bugs with the just-in-time auto-global initialization, that
could cause $_SERVER, $argv/$argc and other variables not to work properly.
(Zeev)
- Fixed data corruption with constant assignments to object properties. (Zeev)
- Changed __toString() to be called automatically only with print and echo
statements. (Andi)
- Replaced the exec_finished hook by the zend_post_deactive hook for
extensions. The new hook will be run after the symbol table and destructors
are run. (Derick)
- Fixed possible crash when internal get_method() is not defined. (Andi)
- Fixed calling methods using call_user_func() in conjunction with
the array("Class","Method") syntax to use the scope of the PHP user function.
(Dmitry)
- Fixed php-cgi to not ignore command-line switches when run in a web context.
This fixes our test cases allowing INI with GET sections to work. (Rasmus)
- Fixed getopt() so it works without $_SERVER. (Rasmus, bfrance)
- Added support for PHP 4 style object comparisons which is enabled in
ze1_compatiblity_mode. (Andi)
- Added support for PHP 4 style object conversion to long, double, and boolean
values which is enabled in ze1_compatibility_mode. (Andi, Stas)
- Allow object oriented extensions to overload comparison functions and other
operations. Solves problems using SimpleXML values. (Andi, Zeev)
- Fixed crash when accessing a class constant with a value which in turn is
also a constant. (Dmitry)
- Fixed object's truth value conversion. It is always true unless
ze1_compatibility_mode is on in which it behaves like in PHP 4. (Stas)
- Improved out of memory handling in new memory manager. (Stas)
- Fixed crash when an object references itself during destructor call. (Andi)
- Fixed crash in foreach() when iterating over object properties or a method's
return values. (Andi)
- Fixed crash when an exception is thrown in a destructor. Such exceptions are
now ignored as destruction happens out of context at no definite time. (Andi)
- Fixed crashes in exception handling. (Dmitry, Andi)
- Changed prototype checks so that they aren't done on constructors. (Andi)
- Changed prototype checks to output an E_STRICT message instead of
an E_COMPILE_ERROR. (Andi)
- Changed Iterator::has_more() to Iterator::valid(). (Marcus)
- Upgraded bundled oniguruma library to version 2.2.2. (Rui, Moriyoshi)
- Added mb_list_encoding() to return an array with all mbstring supported
encodings. (Derick)
- Added support for more ISO8601 datetime formats in strtotime(). (Moriyoshi)
. Timezone specifier (ex. "20040301T02:00:00+19:00")
. Week specifier (ex. "1997W021")
- Renamed php.ini option "zend2.implicit_clone" to
"zend.ze1_compatibility_mode" as it doesn't only affect implicit cloning.
(Andi, Zeev)
- Methods that override parent methods are now subject to prototype checking,
and have to be compatible with the method they're overriding - this check is
disabled in compatibility mode. (Andi, Zeev)
- Fixed crash in php_ini_scanned_files() when no additional INI files were
actually parsed. (Jon)
- Fixed bug in gdImageFilledRectangle in the bundled GD library, that required
x1 < x2 and y1 < y2 for coordinates. (Derick)
- Fixed crash with foreach() and temporary objects($obj->method()->a ...) where
method returns a non-referenced object. (Andi, Zeev)
- Fixed problem preventing startup errors from being displayed. (Marcus)
- Fixed start-up problem if both SPL and SimpleXML were enabled. The double
initialization of apache 1.3 was causing problems here. (Marcus, Derick)
- Fixed bug #27606 (Expression must be a modifiable lvalue compiler error).
(Derick)
- Fixed bug #27597 (pg_fetch_array not returning false). (Marcus)
- Fixed bug #27586 (ArrayObject::getIterator crashes with [] assignment).
(Marcus)
- Fixed bug #27537 (Objects pointing to each other segfaults). (Dmitry)
- Fixed bug #27535 (Problem with object freeing mechanism). (Dmitry)
- Fixed bug #27504 (Visibility bugs in call_user_function()). (Dmitry)

(Jay)
- Fixed bug #27287 (wddx segfaults during deserialization). (Moriyoshi)
- Fixed bug #27263 (session extension crashes when unserializing referenced
values / objects). (Moriyoshi)
- Fixed bug #27237 (Working with simplexml crashes apache2). (Rob)
- Fixed bug #27227 (Mixed case class names causes Fatal Error in Constructor
call). (Marcus)
- Fixed bug #27125 (strval() doesn't work for objects with __toString()).
(Marcus)
- Fixed bug #27123 (Fix crash caused by bug in get_object_vars()). (Andi)
- Fixed bug #26677 (mbstring compile errors with IRIX compiler).
(K.Kosako , Rui, Moriyoshi)
- Fixed bug #26206 (register_long_arrays breaks superglobals). (Zeev)
- Fixed bug #25724 (argv and argc not defined). (Zeev)

class. This allows for a general catch(Exception $e) statement to catch all
exceptions. (Andi, Zeev)
