PHPWomen.org: Bundled go-pear.phar broken in 5.2 windows releases

Tue, 07 Nov 2006 07:42:00 -0600

The PHPWomen have posted a quick note about some of the broken-ness that's happened in the latest release of PHP, version 5.2, and the go-pear.phar file in the Windows releases.

Greg Beaver fixed it immediately, but the fix was NOT incorporated into the 5.2 releases for windows - however the file for the source releases is correct. If you are getting errors that look like this

If you're getting an error like they mention ("cannot use scalar value"), you'll need to go over and grab the latest Go-pear from the CVS repository and install it instead.

Ilia Alshanetsky's Blog: PHP 5.2 will feature libSQlite 3.3.7

Ilia Alshanetsky has a very quick note today about the inclusion of libSQlite version 3.3.7 in the upcoming PHP 5.2 release.

I've just completed the upgraded of the bundled libsqlite in pdo driver from a fairly antiquated 3.2.8 to the latest 3.3.7.

Yet, another reason to upgrade to 5.2.0 when it comes out.

For more information on using PDO and the status of it, check out the PHP manual page for it, specifically this page for more on the SQLite drivers.

Pierre-Alain Joye's Blog: Zip-1.6.0, PHP 5.2.0 and ZipCode

Fri, 28 Jul 2006 06:14:14 -0500

Pierre-Alain Joye has a new note on his blog today about the release of a new version of his Zip package and his efforts to get it included in the upcoming PHP 5.2.0.

I released zip-1.6.0 on wednesday. This release contains no bug fixes and no new feature. In the past weeks, many zip users asked me when I will bundle it in PHP. I cannot bundle extensions without asking the internals list. I steped in and ask to bundle it in 5.2.0, it was hard but finally sucessful.

For the inclusion, he's change the name of the archive to "ZipArchive" from just "Zip" in an effort to clarify what the package is for (archiving versus zip code related functionality).
