What’s coming next?
I am eager to test PHP6 for future development!
PHP, According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP
Note: If you’re getting the impression that PHP6 is kind of stalled, I was feeling that way too. Then I noticed that new versions kind of seem to come out every four years. Kind of like electing US presidents! Heh heh. That would make 2008 the year for version 6, if that holds true. Since people are still hanging on to version 4, it makes sense to wait until the February deadline for PHP5 to be the “official” oldest supported version in the community. After that, it makes sense to release 6. So… Hopefully in 2008 we’ll see some progress.
And I quote… PHP 6, in development as of July 2007, aims to address some of PHP 5’s shortcomings.
* Namespace support may be added.
* Native Unicode support will be added.
* The magic_quotes option will be removed.
* The HTTP_*_VARS global variables will be removed.
* The register_globals option will be removed.
* The safe_mode option will be removed.
* Late static binding will be added.
