<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>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. If youare willing to beta test PHP releases on your servers
|
|
before they're released, and have access to 'exotic' platforms, please
|
|
mail as at <a href="mailto:core@php.net">core@php.net</a>.
|
|
<p>All users of earlier versions of PHP are strongly encouraged to upgrade to
|
|
this version.

<h3>PHP in the News</h3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
A new online newsletter/magazine has two very nice stories about PHP
|
|
this month. Check out <a href="http://io.incluso.com">http://io.incluso.com</a>.

<h3>What is PHP?</h3>
|
|
<P>
|
|
PHP 3.0 is a server-side HTML embedded scripting language and it is a
|
|
complete rewrite of the popular PHP/FI 2.0 language.
|
|
This rewrite is faster, more robust and uses less
|
|
memory than version 2. All users of version 2 are encouraged to
|
|
upgrade.
|
|
</P>
|
|

|
|
If you are new to PHP, a good place to start discovering the power of
|
|
this language is by clicking on the "Source" button in the
|
|
top right corner of all the pages on this site. What you see is the
|
|
actual PHP files that are behind each of the pages you are looking at.

<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>.
