PHP 5.5.0 Released

Posted by Soulskill on from the onward-and-upward dept.

New submitter irventu writes "The long-awaited PHP 5.5.0 has finally been released, bringing many new features and integrating Zend's recently open-sourced OPcache. With the new Laravel PHP framework winning RoRs and CodeIgnitor converts by the thousands, Google recently announcing support for PHP in its App Engine and the current PHP renaissance is well underway. This is great news for the web's most popular scripting language." The full list of new features is available at the Change Log, and the source code is at the download page.

    what_have youGot AGAINST $_THEWAY PHP works($dummy, WORKS_TODAY)? I think it's==great, wait, sorry I mean "I think it's===great." - I accidentally passed in null and that last condition gave me a bunch of false positives.

    I'm hoping PHP6 will finally give programmers the ==== and ===== operators we've been waiting for.
