You can work with XML documents as Objects out of the bag. Whoot! I'm
personally looking really forward to ease of implementation in that regard.

By the way - anyone know if any webhosting companies provide "beta"
servers with PHP5 installed for a little price?

(Okay call me lazy - but whatever :D)

The number 5 is a nicer number. Sits nicely between 1 and 10 ;)
Plus it's 1 extra than 4

I'd love to see some tutorial and examples using this new version of PHP,
especially with the latest MySQL4 and Apache2. Thanks

I have a Linux/Apache server running PHP Version 5.0.0b2.

Space on it is relatively inexpensive - $4.00/Mb/Year; and there's
lots of room if you need it.

It does domain hosting and mail as well - if that's what you want;
though more facilities may cost a bit extra to set up.

Follow the instructions in my signature if you want more details.

Hi guys, As PHP5 is on its final beta, we decided to start writing a web application in it to take advantage of the much better object support it offered. We're running the php-5.0.0b3-Win32.zip installation on a Win2K server platform alongside PHP4. I have used a hex editor to change instances of php.ini to ph5.ini in php4ts.dll so that the existing PHP4 installation is not affected.

I have tried out PHP 5 for the first time (with assistance from this group -- thanks!). The people I was working with have a site that uses lots of php objects. They are having problems with speed. They had a vague idea that PHP5 has improved handling of objects over PHP4, so it would probably be faster also. In fact it seems slower. We did a few timing loops, in which a a number of objects were created and and members were...

Hi, I've been eager to try out PHP5, so I've dumped it on my little dev machine. It's running WinXP with IIS5. I've put the php-cgi.exe in the "mappings" page as I'm used to doing with PHP4. I've got my php.ini all set in C:\Windows. I created an index.php containing: <?php phpinfo(); ?> When I try to view the page, I get "HTTP 400 - Bad Request".

Hi, I've recently contacted technical service of a web hosting company and asked them wheter or not they're gonna upgrade to PHP5 and MySQL5. Here's a quote from their response which confused me a little: "As php5 and mysql5 are still beta versions we don't install beta versions on production servers due to secure reasons, we install only current working versions on production servers"

Hello, I was hoping someone could provide some insight as to the best approach to take in porting over a function I use in quite a few spots from PHP4 to PHP5. Basically, I have a db wrapper class that I use called DBConn (this is the PHP5 ported definition for the members, PHP4 was the same except "private" was "var"): class DBConn { private $hDB; //db link private $bConnected; //db link status
