========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
- Core
. list() now always supports ArrayAccess and never supports strings.
Previously both were accepted in some situations and not in others.
(RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fix_list_behavior_inconsistency)
. Bitwise shifts by negative numbers of bits are disallowed (throws E_WARNING
and gives FALSE, like a division by zero).
. Left bitwise shifts by a number of bits beyond the bit width of an integer
will always result in 0, even on CPUs which wrap around.
. Right bitwise shifts by a number of bits beyond the bit width of an integer
will always result in 0 or -1 (depending on sign), even on CPUs which wrap
around.
. Removed ASP (<%) and script (<script language=php>) tags.
(RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/remove_alternative_php_tags)
. call_user_method() and call_user_method_array() no longer exists.
. PHP 7 doesn't keep original values of arguments passed to user functions,
so func_get_arg() and func_get_args() will return current value of argument
instead of the actually passed. The following code is going to be affected:
function foo($x) { $x = 2; return func_get_arg(0);} var_dump(foo(1));
It will now produce 2, not 1.
. Function parameters with duplicate name are not allowed anymore. Definitions
like “function foo($x,$x) {}” will lead to compile time error.
. Indirect variable, property and method references are now interpreted with
left-to-right semantics. See details in:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax#semantic_differences_in_existing_syntax
. The global keyword now only accepts simple variables. See details in:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/uniform_variable_syntax#global_keyword_takes_only_simple_variables
. The addition of Unicode Codepoint Escape Syntax for double-quoted strings
and heredocs means that \u{ followed by an invalid sequence will now error.
However, \u without a following { is unaffected, so "\u202e" won't error and
will work the same as before.
. zend_function.common.num_args don't include the variadic argument anymore.
. ob_start() no longer issues an E_ERROR, but instead an E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR in case an
output buffer is created in an output buffer handler.
- DBA
. dba_delete() now returns false if the key was not found for the inifile
handler, too.
- GMP
. Requires libgmp version 4.2 or newer now.
. gmp_setbit() and gmp_clrbit() now return FALSE for negative indices, making
them consistent with other GMP functions.
========================================
2. New Features
========================================
- Core
. Added null coalesce operator (??).
(RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/isset_ternary)
. Support for strings with length >= 2^31 bytes in 64 bit builds.
. Closure::call() method added.
. Added \u{xxxxxx} Unicode Codepoint Escape Syntax for double-quoted strings
and heredocs.
. define() now supports arrays as constant values, fixing an oversight where define() did not support arrays yet const syntax did.
- Standard
. intdiv() function for integer division added.
========================================
3. Changes in SAPI modules
========================================
- FPM
. Fixed bug #65933 (Cannot specify config lines longer than 1024 bytes).
. Listen = port now listen on all addresses (IPv6 and IPv4-mapped).
========================================
4. Deprecated Functionality
========================================
========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================
- parse_ini_file():
- parse_ini_string():
. Added scanner mode INI_SCANNER_TYPED to yield typed .ini values.
- unserialize():
. Added second parameter for unserialize function
(RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/secure_unserialize) allowing to specify
acceptable classes:
unserialize($foo, ["allowed_classes" => ["MyClass", "MyClass2"]);
========================================
6. New Functions
========================================
- GMP
. Added gmp_random_seed()
========================================
7. New Classes and Interfaces
========================================
========================================
8. Removed Extensions
========================================
========================================
9. Other Changes to Extensions
========================================
========================================
10. New Global Constants
========================================
- Core
. PHP_INT_MIN added.
========================================
11. Changes to INI File Handling
========================================
- Core
. Removed asp_tags ini directive. Trying to enable it will result in a fatal
error.
========================================
12. Windows Support
========================================
- Core
. Support for native 64 bit integers in 64 bit builds.
. Support for large files in 64 bit builds.
========================================
13. Other Changes
========================================
- Core
. Instead of being undefined and platform-dependent, NaN and Infinity will
always be zero when casted to integer.
. Calling a method on a non-object no longer raises a fatal error; see
also: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/catchable-call-to-member-of-non-object.
. Error messages for zend_parse_parameters, type hints and conversions now always say "integer" and "float" instead of "long" and "double".
