info on PHP 4.1 and up...

[smilley654]

Hi, I was wondering if there is an article or someplace where I can learn the technical detail on the changes since PHP 4.1
The reason I am asking this, is because earlier, I was having difficulty learning dealing with variables(I know C, so I know how variables work). The book is calling "Mastering PHP 4.1", and is based on the 4.1 code style. Anyway, what it neglects to mention is how much has changed since 4.1! And, I have had created two posts on the coding forum on how to get these codes/variables to work. Lucikly, I found the archive for 4.1.0 for Win32 availible, but later, I want to learn the newer version, because the server is going to have a later version and I want my code styling format to adjust to the newer version. Any help would be appreciate

Thanks for your time and reading!

Changelog can be found here:

http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php

The last number is basicly reserved for bugfixes, the middle number will represent the more severe changes, like changed and new functions. All this can be found in the log above.

But don't panic, as the handling of global variables you mentioned is about the only change having an impact on programming style -- 99% of php-programming has stayed the same since the release of 4.0.
