What’s new in PHP 5?



New object model

The new object model in PHP 5 makes programming easier and more efficient. Methods
can be restricted to specified user groups. Through exceptions, the handling of
errors become simpler. For more information, please check

XML and SOAP Web Services

XML support in PHP 5 has been updated and improved. LibXML2 has been implemented as
an XML-Parser. Now, in addition to SimpleXML, PHP 5 provides a faster and easier
way to manipulate XML. More information can be found at
http://www.php.net/simplexml/

The support of SOAP web services is a new addition to PHP 5.
Please note that with this version of PHP 5, we do not support SQLite.
