upgrade.php

Release Notes: Some 5.4 functions have been implemented, and possibly a few bugs fixed. While gzdecode existed before, hex2bin, session_status, zlib_encode, zlib_decode, http_redirect, http_response_code, get_declared_traits (stub), and safe_unserialize are new. Various flags for json_encode/_decode like JSON_HEX_AMP have been added, or the newly (5.4) introduced JSON_PRETTY_PRINT, JSON_UNESCAPED_SLASHES, and JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE. A not-yet/non-standard JSON_PARSE_JAVASCRIPT has been implemented, as well as a basic json_last_error() function. It's a largely untested development release, however.

Release Notes: Various new PHP 5.3 and 5.2 functions have been added. A new extension provides pspell functionality. Multiple errors have been fixed, such as example array handling in preg_filter and escaping in json_encode.

Release Notes: Contributed fixes to json_decode() helped with compliance of the array conversion parameter. New PHP5.3 additions are preg_filter(), lcfirst(), parse_ini_string(), and array_replace(). Contrib modules have been rearranged. A new style object-oriented $_REQUEST[] input wrapper and data filter have been added.

Release Notes: This release includes PDO emulation for PHP 4.x. This new unified PHP5 standard database interface prevents SQL injection exploits if you use its prepared statements instead of error-prone string concatenation and manual escaping. Other changes include more detailed phpDoc-style comments in the main script, and file_put_contents() support for the file locking flag. The emulated json_decode() function now supports Unicode escapes and still remains five times faster than JSON.php or the Zend_Framework decoder.

Release Notes: Compatibility code for PHP 5.1 and 5.2 has been added. The functions json_encode, json_decode, strptime, htmlspecialchars_decode, fputcsv, and a few others are available now.
