Kevin van Zonneveld's Blog: Prepare for PHP 5.3
by Chris Cornutt July 30, 2009 @ 12:25:33
In this new post to his blog Kevin van Zonneveld looks to help you make the transition up to the latest version of PHP (5.3) in a Ubuntu Jaunty installation (including a few things to specifically watch out for).
PHP 5.3 is a big leap forward for PHP and brings of a lot of neat features. However, big leaps can also mean big changes and potentially big breakage when it comes to backwards compatibility. I did some experimenting with running a big legacy application and a CakePHP application on PHP 5.3 and would like to share my findings with you. Here are a couple of tips to prepare your code for PHP 5.3
He mentions things like:

SitePoint PHP Blog: How to Install PHP 5.3 on Windows
by Chris Cornutt July 07, 2009 @ 11:29:16
Craig Buckler has posted a guide for installing the latest PHP release, v5.3, on a Windows machine with Apache (though that part is covered in a different place).
This is the most significant update since version 5.0 and several features that were originally scheduled for version 6.0 have been slipped into the build. You'll be hearing about these on SitePoint soon but, first, we need to install PHP 5.3 on our Windows development systems.
They link to another tutorial to get you through most of the installation part but point out which of the binary files you might need for your system (from windows.php.net). There's also a brief mention of the changes in error reporting in PHP 5.3.

Brandon Savage's Blog: Installing PHP 5.3 On Ubuntu
by Chris Cornutt July 06, 2009 @ 12:38:25
Brandon Savage has posted a guide for installing the latest PHP release - version 5.3 - on an Ubuntu linux installation (since the packages, obviously, won't be available for a while):
With the release of PHP 5.3 to the world, I wanted to be one of the first to try it. The problem is that the typical package managers for Ubuntu won't include PHP 5.3 for some time '" perhaps as long as a year. This is a problem, since I really want to try PHP's latest and greatest features for myself. The problem is, there seems to be a lack of clear, coherent instructions online about compiling PHP on Ubuntu from source.
He assumes you're starting from scratch and walks you through the installation of Apache, PHP 5.3 and how to compile PHP as a shared module to be included in the Apache configuration file (apache2.conf).
