TheTomcat writes "After years of anticipation, [0]PHP 5 was [1]released
today. This release represents a milestone in the evolution of PHP. It
sports the new [2]Zend Engine II, a completely re-worked object model,
and many many new features. Check [0]it and the [3]changelog out." In
other PHP news, [4]remote_bob writes "There have been many attempts, like
[5]BinaryPHP and [6]PASM, but finally there is a complete [7]compiler for
PHP. The Roadsend compiler produces standalone, native executables, and
supports the entire PHP language (but not all extensions). It uses
[8]Bigloo Scheme to do its job, a variant of Lisp, the language that
[9]Paul Graham writes about. [10]Benchmarks say that performance is
pretty good. Is this another sign that dynamic languages are the future?"

    Neat. It won't be till a year or so from now till we upgrate our web site at work, but when we do, I'll really be looking forward to PHP5 for one simple reason:
    Prepared Statements :X

    I was shocked that PHP4 didn't have em. :o Our site is gonna get a kajillion times faster once we rework the sql again...

    By that time most of the php5 bugs will have been figured out too. Yay. :D

    Schweet! Got my dev server at home upgraded!! I've commented out the lines of the config files for php4 or php5 so I can swap between the two, so this way I can use either one. And I'm really liking php5's new toys so far. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Now if only the hosts of the three sites I'm handling site maintenance for would just upgrade to php5 already .... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
