What’s New in PHP 5: We Search the Changelogs so You Don’t Have To
Plaster Student Union 317
Now that PHP 4 has been discontinued, you’ve probably been busy testing all of your scripts to ensure they still work in PHP 5…but have you taken the time to learn what PHP 5 can really do?
From two brand new XML parsers to an improved object model, PHP 5 offers many new features designed to make PHP code more efficient to run and easier to write. This session will look at several of these new features, including iterators, reflection, exceptions, PHP Data Objects, and more. Participants will learn about the new features and how to begin using them to write better code. Prior experience with PHP is recommended.
