<h3>PHP 3.0.5 has been released!</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Due to several annoying problems in version 3.0.4, version 3.0.5
|
|
has been released. It fixes all the compilation quirks that were
|
|
reported in 3.0.4, as well as random problems in setups that included
|
|
the MySQL module, due to bad settings.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
In order to try and avoid such occurences in the future, we've assembled
|
|
a beta testing team that would check out every new release before it's
|
|
announced. Online registration for the beta testing team will be available
|
|
soon.
|
|
</P>
|
|
<P>
|
|
All users of earlier versions of PHP are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
|
|
this version.

<h3>PHP in the News</h3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
<a href="http://www.netcraft.com">Netcraft's</a> November server survey results are
|
|
out. PHP showed a massive jump from last month. They don't actually have scripting
|
|
language number online at Netcraft, but they do a manual grep and email us this
|
|
information monthly. Here is a little <a href="usage.php3">bar chart</a>
|
|
showing the growth of PHP usage over the past couple of months.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<h3>What is PHP?</h3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
PHP is a server-side, cross-platform, HTML embedded scripting language.
|
|
If you are completely new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works,
|
|
have a look at the <a href="tut.php3">Introductory Tutorial</a>. Once you get
|
|
beyond that have a look at the example archive sites and some of the other
|
|
resources available in the <a href="links.php3">Links</a> section.
|
|
</P>

<h3>So, how much does it cost?</h3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
This may sound a little foreign to all you folks coming from a non-Unix
|
|
background, but PHP doesn't cost anything. You can use it for commercial
|
|
and/or non-commercial use all you want. You can give it to your friends,
|
|
print it out and hang it on your wall or eat it for lunch. Welcome to
|
|
the world of <a href="http://www.opensource.org">Open Source</a> software!
|
|
Smile, be happy, the world is good. For the full legalese, see the
|
|
official <a href="license.html">license</a>.
