PHP 4.1.0 has been released and is now available for download.

Key additions in 4.1.0 include performance and stability enhancements (especially under the Windows platform), security improvements for handling form variables, and output compression support. Other improvements include:

  • Compatability with MySQL 4.0

  • A new $_REQUEST array, which includes any GET, POST or COOKIE variables

  • New $_GET, $_POST, $_COOKIE, $_SERVER and $_ENV variables, which will replace older $HTTP_*_VARS arrays

  • New math and image manipulation functions

Older applications shouldn't have problems running within the new 4.1.0 server, so it might be a good time to upgrade for the new features and performance gains. You can read the full list of changes and new features on the PHP 4.1.0 release page or download it now!

Dan lives a quiet life in the bustling city of Milwaukee, WI. Although he founded what would become evolt.org in 1998, he's since moved on to other projects and is now the owner of Progressive Networks, a Zimbra hosting company based in Milwaukee.

These improvements are a very Good ThingTM. The PHP folks even give examples of the vunerablities that this fixes. Its refreshing to see the creators of a language actually do something to make using their language more secure rather than pointing fingers at the developers. This is why I love PHP so much........
