Some information about PHP6

[Ankit Dabda]

PHP developers should be aware of this, so that your scripts will be able to upgrade if needed, when the time comes. Although the PHP 6 development process has been a slow one, it is coming.

Some of the most important things to know is that most of the bad language features, such as:

* magic_quotes
* register_globals
* register_long_arrays
* safe_mode

are being taken out completely. It is well known that using these features in PHP 5 are a bad practice.

Some good things that are being added:

* Improved Unicode Support
* Namespaces (!)

Also, the SOAP extension will be enabled by default.

Short ASP style tags will be taken out completely. You must use PHP tags if you want your scripts to work.

The ereg family of functions will not be included by default! You must use perl-compatible regular expressions if you want to use regular expressions in your scripts, unless you enable the POSIX package.

In short, PHP6 is going to be cleaner, leaner, and better that its predecessors.

The best news is that they will be adding .Net functionality. So you can easily use .Net assemblies.

" * magic_quotes

command are really unusable in PHP 5.
I was waiting for the PHP 6.This PHP 6 has become popular already in public for its easy use style.
I am eagerly waiting for its full version.As far i know it isn't available now.Is it???

As far as I know, it's not yet available but I've heard that it has lots of new features and it removes some backwards-compatibility features.

Yes, it was released in April as the powerful Unix based tool "Sed" was used in PHP 5.3.2 to transform into PHP6.
