Changed functions
PHP Core
-
getopt() has an optional third parameter that exposes
the index of the next element in the argument vector list to be processed.
This is done via a by-ref parameter.
-
getenv() no longer requires its parameter. If the
parameter is omitted, then the current environment variables will be
returned as an associative array.
-
get_headers() now has an additional parameter to enable
for the passing of custom stream contexts.
-
output_reset_rewrite_vars() no longer resets session
URL rewrite variables.
-
parse_url() is now more restrictive and supports
RFC3986.
-
unpack() now accepts an optional third parameter to
specify the offset to begin unpacking from.
File System
-
file_get_contents() now accepts a negative seek offset
if the stream is seekable.
-
tempnam() now emits a notice when falling back to the
system's temp directory.
JSON
-
json_encode() now accepts a new option,
JSON_UNESCAPED_LINE_TERMINATORS, to disable the
escaping of U+2028 and U+2029 characters when
JSON_UNESCAPED_UNICODE is supplied.
PDO
-
PDO::lastInsertId() for PostgreSQL will now trigger an error
when nextval has not been called for the current
session (the postgres connection).
PostgreSQL
-
pg_last_notice() now accepts an optional parameter to
specify an operation. This can be done with one of the following new
constants:
PGSQL_NOTICE_LAST,
PGSQL_NOTICE_ALL, or
PGSQL_NOTICE_CLEAR.
-
pg_fetch_all() now accepts an optional second parameter
to specify the result type (similar to the third parameter of
pg_fetch_array()).
-
pg_select() now accepts an optional fourth parameter to
specify the result type (similar to the third parameter of
pg_fetch_array()).
