PHP5 available now!
Finally, I've been eyeing PHP5 ever since RC1. They've added some really nice features. I'm particularly interested in the native SOAP support. And, perhaps more urgently the support for Exceptions. This should provide us with a more robust way of catching and handling errors because the current implementation just has got to go. All the new features are welcome improvements, though. Object cloning and having objects be assigned by reference rather than value is also a life saver. I'll also have to give SQLite a test drive — seems like quite a capable database. Hopefully it'll be able to support our application. What's missing there is a good front-end. Maybe Zend's PHP5 Contest will result in something usable. Some sort of phpSQLiteAdmin perhaps.
