PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. If you are new to PHP and want to get some idea of how it works, try the introductory tutorial. After that, check out the online manual, and the example archive sites and some of the other resources available in the links section. Ever wondered how popular PHP is? see the Netcraft Survey.

The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.5 and 5.2.17. This release resolves a critical issue, reported as PHP bug #53632 and CVE-2010-4645, where conversions from string to double might cause the PHP interpreter to hang on systems using x87 FPU registers. The problem is known to only affect x86 32-bit PHP processes, regardless of whether the system hosting PHP is 32-bit or 64-bit. You can test whether your system is affected by running this script from the command line. All users of PHP are strongly advised to update to these versions immediately.

PHP 5.2.16 Released!

[16-Dec-2010] The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.2.16. This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2. All users of PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3. This release focuses on addressing a regression in open_basedir implementation introduced in 5.2.15 in addition to fixing a crash inside PDO::pgsql on data retrieval when the server is down. All users who have upgraded to 5.2.15 and are utilizing open_basedir are strongly encouraged to upgrade to 5.2.16 or 5.3.4.

To prepare for upgrading to PHP 5.3, now that PHP 5.2's support ended, a migration guide available on http://php.net/migration53, details the changes between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3. For a full list of changes in PHP 5.2.16 see the ChangeLog at http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.16.

Fixed crash in zip extract method (possible CWE-170). Paths with NULL in them (foo\0bar.txt) are now considered as invalid (CVE-20067243). Fixed a possible double free in imap extension (Identified by Mateusz Kocielski). (CVE-2010-4150). Fixed NULL pointer dereference in ZipArchive::getArchiveComment. (CVE-20103709). Fixed possible flaw in open_basedir (CVE-2010-3436). Fixed MOPS-2010-24, fix string validation. (CVE-2010-2950). Fixed symbolic resolution support when the target is a DFS share.

PHP 5.2.15 Released!

[09-Dec-2010] The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.2.15. This release marks the end of support for PHP 5.2. All users of PHP 5.2 are encouraged to upgrade to PHP 5.3. This release focuses on improving the security and stability of the PHP 5.2.x branch with a small number, of predominatly security fixes.

Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.2.15:

Fixed extract() to do not overwrite $GLOBALS and $this when using EXTR_OVERWRITE. Fixed crash in zip extract method (possible CWE-170). Fixed a possible double free in imap extension. Fixed possible flaw in open_basedir (CVE-2010-3436). Fixed NULL pointer dereference in ZipArchive::getArchiveComment. (CVE-20103709).

To prepare for upgrading to PHP 5.3, now that PHP 5.2's support ended, a migration guide available on http://php.net/migration53, details the changes between PHP 5.2 and PHP 5.3. For a full list of changes in PHP 5.2.15 see the ChangeLog at http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.2.15.

PHP 5.3.3 Released!

[22-Jul-2010] The PHP development team would like to announce the immediate availability of PHP 5.3.3. This release focuses on improving the stability and security of the PHP 5.3.x branch with over 100 bug fixes, some of which are security related. All users are encouraged to upgrade to this release. Backwards incompatible change: Methods with the same name as the last element of a namespaced class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't affect nonnamespaced classes. <?php namespace Foo; class Bar { public function Bar() { // treated as constructor in PHP 5.3.0-5.3.2 // treated as regular method in PHP 5.3.3 } } ?> There is no impact on migration from 5.2.x because namespaces were only introduced in PHP 5.3. Security Enhancements and Fixes in PHP 5.3.3:

Rewrote var_export() to use smart_str rather than output buffering, prevents data disclosure if a fatal error occurs (CVE-2010-2531). Fixed a possible resource destruction issues in shm_put_var().

Fixed SplObjectStorage unserialization problems (CVE-2010-2225). Fixed possible buffer overflows in mysqlnd_list_fields, mysqlnd_change_user.
