Sept. 22, 1998 Version 3.0.4

• Added uksort() - array key sort using a user defined comparison function.
• Added 'j' support to date() - generates the day of the month, without possible leading zeros.
• Added support for multiple crypt() encryptions if the system supports it
• Added optional support for ASP-style <% %> and <%= tags
• Fixed data loss problems with very large numeric array indices on 64-bit platforms (e.g. DEC UNIX).
• 2 cursor_type parameters for ifx_query() and ifx_prepare changed to 1 (bitmask). Added a few constants for use in Informix module.
• Added php3.ini option ifx.charasvarchar. If set, trailing blanks are stripped from fixed-length char columns. (Makes life easier for people using Informix SE.)
• Static SNMP module which compiles with ucd-snmp 3.5.2
• fixed imap_header & header_info from crashing when a header line is > 1024 characters.
• Added patch for rfc822_parse_adr to return an array of objects instead of a single object.
• Informix Online 7.x & SE 7.x support now fairly complete and stable
• Add dbase_get_record_with_names() function
• Added a special case for open_basedir. When open_basedir is set to "." the directory in which the script is stored will be used as basedir.
• Include alloca.c in the distribution for platforms without alloca().
• Improved stripping of URL passwords from error messages - the length of the username/password isn't obvious now, and all protocols are handled properly (most importantly, http).
• Copying objects that had member functions with static variables produced undetermined results. Fixed.
• Added function lstat() and cleaned up the status functions, added tests for file status functions (this may break on some plattforms)
• Fixed is_link() - it was returning always false.
• Fixed apache_note() - it was corrupting memory.
• New Function. void get_meta_tags(string filename); Parses filename until closing head tag and turns all meta tags into variables prefixed with 'meta_'. The below meta tag would produce $meta_test="some string here"
  <meta name="test" content="some string here">
• Generalized some internal functions in order to better support calling user-level functions from C code. Fixes a few sporadic problems related to constructors inside eval() and more.
• Fixed an endless loop in explode(), strstr() and strpos() in case of an invalid empty delimiter.
• rand() now accepts two optional arguments, which denote the requested range of the generated number. E.g., rand(3,7) would generate a random number between 3 and 7.
• Added M_PI constant.
• Added deg2rad() and rad2deg() for converting radians<->degrees.
• ImageArc() misbehaved when given negative angles, fixed.
• Fixed a bug in ereg() that may have caused buglets under some circumstances.
• Added imap_status
• Shutdown functions, registered via register_shutdown_function(), could never generate output in the Apache module version. Fixed.
• Brought IMAP docs into sync with acutal imap code
• imap_fetchstructure now takes in optional flags
• Fix potential core dumps in imap_append and imap_fetchtext_full
• Fix problem in SetCookie() function related to long cookies
• Add uasort() function to go along with usort (like sort() and asort())
• Add port number to Host header as per section 14.23 of the HTTP 1.1 RFC
• Fix imap_reopen to only take 2 arguments with an optional 3rd flags arg
• Add optional 2nd argument to imap_close
• Add CL_EXPUNGE flag to imap_open() flags
• Fix 4th arg on imap_append(). It was getting converted to a long by mistake.
• Fix shutdown warning in the LDAP module
• *COMPATIBILITY WARNING* imap_fetchstructure() "parametres" object and property name changed to "parameters" to match the documentation and to be consistent with the rest of the API.
• Delete uploaded temporary files automatically at the end of a request
• Add upload_max_filesize and correponsing php3_upload_max_filesize directive to control the maximum size of an uploaded file. Setting this to 0 would completely eliminate file uploads.
• Force $PHP_SELF to PATH_INFO value when running in CGI FORCE_CGI_REDIRECT mode
• Add apache_lookup_uri() function which does an internal sub-request lookup and returns an object containing the request_rec fields for the URI. (Yes, you have to be a bit of a gearhead to figure this one out)
• Fix a few signed char problems causing functions like ucfirst() not to work correctly with non-English charsets
• md5() function not binary safe - fixed

August 15, 1998 Version 3.0.3

• Changed the name of fopen_basedir to open_basedir, to be a little more accurate about what it does.
• Added Hyperwave module
• Added config-option (php3_)enable_dl <on/off>. This enables/disables the dl() function. In safe-mode dl() is always disabled.
• Auto-prepended files were crashing under some circumstances - fixed.
• Win32 mail fixes provided by walton@nordicdms.com
• Comparing between arrays and/or objects now generates a warning (it always returns false, as it used to; no comparison is made)
• Fixed a bug in the syntax highlighting code, that made ending-double-quotes appear twice under certain circumstances.
• Fix bug in filetype() function related to symlinks
• Started integrating Informix SE support to PHP configure/makefile setup.
• gdttf roundoff fixes from ellson@lucent.com
• Added initial Informix SE support files from Danny Heijl - This code still needs to be integrated into the PHP configure/makefile setup and the code itself needs more work.
• return in the global scope now terminates the execution of the current file.
• Added the ability to register shutdown function(s), via register_shutdown_function($function_name).
• Clean up const warnings
• Add write support to ftp fopen wrappers
• Add strspn() and strcspn() functions
• On systems without strerror use Apache version if compiling as Apache module
• The PHP start tag was being ignored under some circumstances - fixed.
• The db, dbase and filepro functions are now Safe-Mode aware.
• Added config-option (php3_)fopen_basedir <path>. This limits the directory- tree scripts can open files in to <path>.
• Fixed pg_loreadall that didn't always return all the contents in a PostgreSQL large object. Also, doesn't pass through anything if method is HEAD.
• configure fix to create target Apache module dir
• Fix core dump in imageTTFtext() function
• Added static IMAP support
• Syntax highlighting was generating additional whitespace - fixed.
• Added ucwords. Works like ucfirst, but works on all words within a string.
• Added array_walk() - apply user function to every element of an array
• Added usort() - array sort that accepts a user defined comparison function!
• Added the ability to call user-level functions and object methods on demand from the C source using a completely generalized, slick API function. Miracles do happen every once in a while.
• Added constructors. Don't even squeek about destructors! :) (we mean that)
• Make pg_lowrite() binary safe
• Fixed mod_charset option in ./setup
• Fixed rewinddir() and dir()::rewind() under Win32 (they didn't work before).
• Add Win32 COM support! By-name referencing is supported using the IDispatch interface (automation). Available functions - COM_Load(), COM_Invoke(), COM_PropGet() and COM_PropSet().
