PHP.net:
PHP 5.0.0 Beta 2 Released!
byChris Cornutt Oct 31, 2003 @ 13:00:57

For those keeping track, the PHP.net site announced late yesterday that the PHP 5.0.0 Beta 2 has been released.

PHP 5.0.0 Beta 2 has been released. This is the first feature complete version of PHP 5, and we recommend for PHP users to try it. PHP 5 is still not ready for production use! Some of the more major changes include:

  • PHP 5 features the Zend Engine 2.
  • XML support has been completely redone in PHP 5...
  • SQLite has been bundled with PHP.
  • Streams have been greatly improved
and many others. There have been many changes since Beta 1, some of them documented in the NEWS file and most language changes are documented in ZEND_CHANGES.

It's great to see another beta coming out for what will be the greatest leap forward for PHP in a long time. PHP 5 is going to change the way that people look at this "little scripting language" for good, and give it that extra push to focus the limelight on it and make people sit up to take notice....
