From the Vexxhost.com blog today comes a quick overview of some of the "new and cool features" of PHP 5 that you might not have heard of - a top five list.

PHP5 has brought so much new features but because of its big syntax changes, a big percentage of the PHP developing base has not made the change. Here are the top new features that could change your mind.

The list they've created includes:

• Better error handling with exceptions
• Completely rewritten MySQL extension
• A heck of a lot more useful functions
• Finally! SQLite database support!
• The best damn OOP support period
