SitePoint PHP Blog:
What won't be in PHP 6
byChris Cornutt Mar 13, 2006 @ 13:31:38

In this post on the Sitepoint PHP Blog, Harry Fuecks makes a quick mention of another blog post dealing with the enhancements in PHP6 and another handy feature he noticed as well.

Pierre-Alain Joye picked this one up last week, and it needs repeating. For PHP6 the following are already gone from CVS: Register globals, Magic quotes, Safe mode.

As blogged a while back, you'll find these changes discussed here. Nice use of carrot and stick in fact - for the pain on fixing your apps to run under PHP6, you get Unicode.

The other feature he's noticed pertains to the php.ini settings file that PHP uses:

Just noticed a new ini setting here: "allow_url_include - PHP_INI_SYSTEM Available since PHP 6.0.0." Excellent! That eliminates another major source of exploits (perhaps the biggest) have moaned about that before here and here.

Pierre's Blog:
Magic's gone
byChris Cornutt Mar 09, 2006 @ 13:27:03

On Pierre's blog, there's this great reminder of the progress being made towards PHP6, and some of the big leaps that have been made so far - specifically related to register_globals and magic_quotes_*

I really start to love the next major version of PHP (aka PHP6).

register_globals and magic_quotes_ have gone: #1 and #2.

The get_magic_quotes_gpc, get_magic_quotes_runtime functions are kept but always return false, set_magic_quotes_runtime raises an E_CORE_ERROR. It may help you to migrate (I was in favour to drop them all, but it was a too drastic change for my collegues :)

These changes and the GD cleanup (gd1.x and freetype 1.x support removed, some code cleanup) make me feel really better while working in HEAD that 5.x.

He also notes the recent demise of safe_mode as well.
