You are right. *sigh*

You just have to install the mysql client to get it to work. There's
just some concerns over the MySQL licence that's all.

Where did this myth start up in the first place? Was it just because they
happened to announce SQLite support at the same time as removing the bundled
MySQL client library? (client library != the PHP MySQL extension).

MySQL support is not being removed; in fact it's being improved (see the
mysqli functions).

If you like OOP, you'll probably get a kick out of the new object
model. If you understand OOP, you will still be wondering how
much sense OOP makes without strong typing. If you don't like OOP,
it'll be a huge disappointment: slightly larger system footprint,
but no additional functionalilty; just another step along the way
of turning PHP into a Java clone.

For more information, see

http://www.php.net/zend-engine-2.php

Cheers,

Nik,

I heard there was quite a performance increase over the 4.x branch too. I
can't say I've had the pleasure of trying PHP5 as yet, been too busy.. I
may be wrong, but I thought I read somewhere that performance and a few
other "efficienci es" had been incorporated. Feel free to correct me if I'm
wrong.. I'm interested to hear PoV from people that have tried it too =)

Regards,

Ian

Well, there are quite a few people who make this queston other way around,
how mocu sense does OOP make with strong typing? Especially inventors of OOP
like Alan Kay.

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.

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".

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
