What has changed in PHP 5.4.x




Most improvements in PHP 5.4.x have no impact on existing code. There are a few
incompatibilities and new
features that should be considered, and code should be tested before switching PHP versions in production environments.







1. Backward Incompatible Changes  ：一些内容将不兼容


1)不再支持安全模式，

2) 移除魔术引用，

3) 移除全局变量php.ini设置，

4) 移除Call-time
pass by reference（如call_user_func_array('function', array(&$a)
不支持)

5)break/continue 不接受参数，但保留接受静态参数

6)必须设置时区timezone



7) 注意非数字数组键值 详看:PHP5.4中一个需要注意的变化(Chained
string offsets)

8) 数组转字符串提示 E_NOTICE level
error

8) 使用超全局变量做函数参数将导致致命错误

function foo($_GET, $_POST) {}
//在5.3是没问题的.
//php5.4出现:Fatal error: Cannot re-assign auto-global variable _GET in /opt/php-5.4.0/test.php on line 4




　　

Although most existing PHP 5 code should work without changes, please take note of some backward incompatible changes:

• 
  Safe
  mode is no longer supported. Any applications that rely on safe mode may need adjustment, in terms of security.
  
• 
  Magic
  quotes has been removed. Applications relying on this feature may need to be updated, to avoid security issues. get_magic_quotes_gpc() and get_magic_quotes_runtime() now
  always return FALSE.set_magic_quotes_runtime() raises
  an E_CORE_ERROR level error.
  
• 
  The register_globals and register_long_arrays php.ini directives
  have been removed.
  
• 
  Call-time
  pass by reference has been removed.
  
• 
  The break and continue statements
  no longer accept variable arguments (e.g., break 1 + foo() * $bar;). Static arguments still work, such as break 2;.
  
• 
  In the date
  and time extension, the timezone can no longer be set using the TZ environment variable. Instead you have to specify a timezone using the date.timezone php.ini option
  or date_default_timezone_set() function.
  PHP will no longer attempt to guess the timezone, and will instead fall back to "UTC" and issue a E_WARNING.
  
• 
  Non-numeric string offsets - e.g. $a['foo'] where $a is a string - now return false on isset() and
  true on empty(),
  and produce a E_WARNING if you try to use them. Offsets of types double, bool and null produce a E_NOTICE.
  Numeric strings (e.g. $a['2']) still work as before. Note that offsets like '12.3' and '5 foobar' are considered non-numeric and produce a E_WARNING,
  but are converted to 12 and 5 respectively, for backward compatibility reasons. Note: Following code returns different result. $str='abc';var_dump(isset($str['x'])); // false for PHP 5.4 or later, but
  true for 5.3 or less
  
• 
  Converting an array to a string will now generate an E_NOTICE level error, but the result
  of the cast will still be the string "Array".
  
• 
  Turning NULL, FALSE,
  or an empty string into an object by adding a property will now emit an E_WARNING level error, instead of E_STRICT.
  
• 
  Parameter names that shadow super globals now cause a fatal error. This prohibits code like function foo($_GET, $_POST) {}.
  
• 
  The Salsa10 and Salsa20 hash
  algorithms have been removed.
  
• 
  array_combine() now
  returns array() instead of FALSE when two empty arrays are provided as parameters.
  
• 
  If you use htmlentities() with
  asian character sets, it works like htmlspecialchars() -
  this has always been the case in previous versions of PHP, but now an E_STRICT level error is emitted.
  

The following keywords are now reserved,
and may not be used as names by functions, classes, etc.

• 
  trait
  
• 
  callable
  
• 
  insteadof
  

The following functions have been removed from PHP:

• 
  define_syslog_variables()
  
• 
  import_request_variables()
  
• 
  session_is_registered(), session_register() and session_unregister().
  
• 
  The aliases mysqli_bind_param(), mysqli_bind_result(), mysqli_client_encoding(), mysqli_fetch(), mysqli_param_count(), mysqli_get_metadata(), mysqli_send_long_data(),
  mysqli::client_encoding() and mysqli_stmt::stmt().
  

2. New features 新功能


1）traits特性的功能相当使一个类可以存在两个父类。在php5.4之前，一个类不能继承两个父类。



   2）数组可以类似c/c++写法

   3）Class::{expr}() 这个写法有点迷糊

  4）支持二进制数值，即二进制直接写赋值给变量：

$bin  = 0b1101;
echo $bin;
//13

而不必使用bin2dec转换成十进制

       想看大鸟：二进制直接量(binary number format)

  5）上传进度支持(Upload
progress in sessions)

  6）php5.4可以编译成命令行模式的server





PHP 5.4.0 offers a wide range of new features:

• 
  Support for traits has
  been added.
  
• 
  Short array syntax has been added, e.g. $a = [1, 2, 3, 4]; or $a = ['one' => 1, 'two' => 2, 'three' => 3, 'four' => 4];.
  
• 
  Function array dereferencing has been added, e.g. foo()[0].
  
• 
  Closures now
  support $this.
  
• 
  <?= is now always available, regardless of the short_open_tag php.ini option.
  
• 
  Class member access on instantiation has been added, e.g. (new Foo)->bar().
  
• 
  Class::{expr}() syntax is now supported.
  
• 
  Binary number format has been added, e.g. 0b001001101.
  
• 
  Improved parse error messages and improved incompatible arguments warnings.
  
• 
  The session extension can now track the upload
  progress of files.
  
• 
  Built-in development web
  server in CLI mode.
  

Changes in SAPI modules

• 
  A new SAPI module named cli-server is now available.
  
• 
  Added CLI option --rz which shows information of the named Zend extension.
  
• 
  Added shortcut #inisetting=value to change php.ini settings at run-time in interactive readline CLI
  
• 
  Added apache compatible functions: apache_child_terminate(), getallheaders(), apache_request_headers() and apache_response_headers() for
  FastCGI SAPI.
  
• 
  PHP-FPM: Added the process.max setting, to control the number of processes that FPM can fork.

• 
  magic_quotes_gpc, magic_quotes_runtime,
  and magic_quotes_sybase
  
• 
  allow_call_time_pass_reference
  
• 
  define_syslog_variables
  
• 
  highlight.bg
  
• 
  session.bug_compat_42 and session.bug_compat_warn

• 
  safe_mode, safe_mode_gid, safe_mode_include_dir, safe_mode_exec_dir, safe_mode_allowed_env_vars,
  and safe_mode_protected_env_vars
  

The following php.ini directives have been added:

• 
  cli.pager and cli.prompt for
  CLI SAPI using readline in interactive mode.
  
• 
  cli_server.color to
  enable the built-in development web server to use ANSI color coding in terminal output.
  
• 
  max_input_vars -
  specifies how many GET/POST/COOKIE input variables may be accepted.
  
• 
  zend.multibyte -
  to control the new multibyte support.
  
• 
  zend.script_encoding -
  This value will be used unless a &quot;declare(encoding=...)&quot; directive appears at the top of the script.
  
• 
  zend.signal_check -
  to check for replaced signal handlers on shutdown.
  
• 
  session.upload_progress.enabled, session.upload_progress.cleanup, session.upload_progress.prefix, session.upload_progress.name, session.upload_progress.freq, session.upload_progress.min_freq
  
• 
  enable_post_data_reading -
  When it's disabled, the POST data is not read (and processed)
  
• 
  windows_show_crt_warning -
  This directive shows the Windows CRT warnings when enabled. These warnings were displayed by default until now.
  

The following php.ini. directives have been changed:

• 
  session.entropy_file now
  defaults to /dev/random or /dev/urandom depending on what has been guessed at compile time.
  
• 
  session.entropy_length now
  defaults to 32.
  

12. Other changes 别的修改

• 
  The default character set for htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities() is
  now UTF-8, instead of ISO-8859-1. Note that changing your output charset via the default_charset configuration
  setting does not affect htmlspecialchars/htmlentities unless you are passing &quot;&quot; (an empty string) as the encoding parameter to your htmlspecialchars()/htmlentities() calls.
  Generally we do not recommend doing this because you should be able to change your output charset without affecting the runtime charset used by these functions. The safest approach is to explicitly set the charset on each call to htmlspecialchars() and htmlentities().
  
• 
  E_ALL now includes E_STRICT level
  errors in the error_reporting configuration
  directive.
  
• 
  SNMP now
  has an OOP API. Functions now return FALSE on every error condition including SNMP-related
  (no such instance, end of MIB, etc). Thus, in particular, breaks previous behavior of get/walk functions returning an empty string on SNMP-related errors. Multi OID get/getnext/set queries are now supported. Dropped
  UCD-SNMP compatibility code, consider upgrading to net-snmp v5.3&#43;, Net-SNMP v5.4&#43; is required for Windows version. In sake of adding support for IPv6 DNS name resolution of remote SNMP agent (peer) is done by extension now, not
  by Net-SNMP library anymore.
  
• 
  OpenSSL now
  supports AES.
  
• 
  CLI
  SAPI doesn't terminate any more on fatal errors when using interactive mode with readline support.
  
• 
  $_SERVER['REQUEST_TIME_FLOAT'] has
  been added to include microsecond precision.
  
• 
  Added new hash algorithms: fnv132, fnv164, joaat
  
• 
  Chained string offsets - e.g. $a[0][0] where $a is a string - now work.
  
• 
  Arrays cast from SimpleXMLElement now
  always contain all nodes instead of just the first matching node. All SimpleXMLElement children
  are now always printed when using var_dump(), var_export() and print_r().
  
• 
  It's now possible to enforce the class' __construct arguments
  in an abstract constructor in the base class.
