PHP 5 Release Candidate 2 Released

Posted by timothy on from the pronounced-with-lips dept.

alexre1 writes "From the PHP website: 'The second Release Candidate of PHP 5 is now available! This mostly bug fix release improves PHP 5's stability and irons out some of the remaining issues before PHP 5 can be deemed release quality. Note that it is still not recommended for mission-critical use but people are encouraged to start playing with it and report any problems.' Cool! Hopefully we'll have a stable PHP 5.0 soon."

    It's going to be even better then that!

    PHP5 comes with its very own integrated 'lite' sql server that can handle simple queries very very quickly.

    The decision to implement SQLite into PHP5 is "good for small and mid-sized applications, because the database lives on the same server as the application that is using it"

    What about MySQL 5? Stored procedures seems to be the biggest new feature...
