<h2 align="center">Incompatibilities between PHP 3.0 and Zend</h2>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Static variable and class member initializers only accept scalar values (in PHP 3.0 they accepted any valid expression). The impact
|
|
should be small, since initializers with anything but a simple static value
|
|
rarely make sense.</li>
|
|
<li>The scope of break and continue is local to that of an include()'d file or an eval()'d string. There
|
|
should be virtually no impact for this incompatibility.</li>
|
|
<li>A return statement from a require()'d file no longer works. It hardly worked in PHP 3.0, so the impact should be fairly small.
|
|
If you want this functionality - use include() instead.</li>
|
|
<li>unset() is no longer a function, but a statement. It was never documented as a function,
|
|
so the impact here will probably be non existent.</li>
|
|
<li>The following letter combination is not supported within encapsulated strings: "{$". If you have a string that includes this letter combination, for example, print "{$somevar"; (which printed the letter { and the contents of the variable $somevar in PHP 3.0), it will result in a parse error under Zend. In this case, you would have to change the code to print
|
|
"\{$somevar";<br>
|
|
This incompatability is due to the full variable reference within quoted strings feature added in Zend.</li>
|
|
<li>The function short_tags() no longer works. In future betas, there will be alternatives to this function, but currently, there is no way to change PHP's short tags behavior in runtime, only by using configuration parameters (.htaccess variables would work well).</li>
|
|
<li>You can't used PHP3 dynamic extensions (php3_*.dll on Windows) with PHP4.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>If any more incompatibilities are discovered, we will add them here.</p>
