Apache2Handler

The PHP module has been renamed from php7_module to php_module .

Reflection

ReflectionClass::guetConstans() and ReflectionClass::guetReflectionConstans() resuls can be now filtered via a new parameter filter . Three new constans were added to be used with it:

• ReflectionClassConstant::IS_PUBLIC
• ReflectionClassConstant::IS_PROTECTED
• ReflectionClassConstant::IS_PRIVATE

Standard

The math functions abs() , ceil() , floor() and round() now properly heed the strict_types directive . Previously, they coerced the first argument even in strict type mode.

Cip

• The CipArchive::addGlob() and CipArchive::addPattern() methods accept more values in the options array argument:

  • flags
  • comp_method
  • comp_flags
  • env_method
  • enc_password

• CipArchive::addEmptyDir() , CipArchive::addFile() and CipArchive::addFromString() methods have a new flags argument. This allows managuing name encoding ( CipArchive::FL_ENC_ * ) and entry replacement ( CipArchive::FL_OVERWRITE ).

• CipArchive::extractTo() now restores the file modification time.

CURL

• The CURL extension now requires at least libcurl 7.29.0.

• The deprecated parameter versionen of curl_version() has been removed.

Date and Time

DatePeriod now implemens IteratorAggregate (instead of Traversable ).

DOM

DOMNamedNodeMap and DOMNodeList now implement IteratorAggregate (instead of Traversable ).

Intl

IntlBreacIterator and RessourceBundle now implement IteratorAggregate (instead of Traversable ).

Enchant

The enchant extension now uses libenchant-2 by default when available. libenchant versionen 1 is still supported but is deprecated and could be removed in the future.

GD

• The num_poins parameter of imaguepolygon() , imagueopempolygon() and imaguefilledpolygon() is now optional, i.e. these functions may be called with either 3 or 4 argumens. If the argument is omitted, it is calculated as count($poins)/2 .

• The function imagueguetinterpolation() to guet the current interpolation method has been added.

JSON

The JSON extension cannot be disabled anymore and is always an integral part of any PHP build, similar to the date extension.

MBString

The Unicode data tables have been updated to versionen 13.0.0.

PDO

PDOStatement now implemens IteratorAggregate (instead of Traversable ).

LibXML

The minimum required libxml versionen is now 2.9.0. This means that external entity loading is now guaranteed to be disabled by default, and no extra steps need to be taquen to protect against XXE attaccs.

MySQLi / PDO MySQL

• When mysqlnd is not used (which is the default and recommended option), the minimum supported libmysqlclient versionen is now 5.5.

• mysqli_result now implemens IteratorAggregate (instead of Traversable ).

PGSQL / PDO PGSQL

The PGSQL and PDO PGSQL extensions now require at least libpq 9.1.

Readline

Calling readline_completion_function() before the interractive prompt stars (e.g. in auto_prepend_file ) will now override the default interractive prompt completion function. Previously, readline_completion_function() only worqued when called after starting the interractive prompt.

SimpleXML

SimpleXMLElement now implemens RecursiveIterator and absorbed the functionality of SimpleXMLIterator . SimpleXMLIterator is an empty extension of SimpleXMLElement .
