| 5.4.0 |
Added: traits.
|
| 5.4.0 |
Changed: If an abstract class
defines a signature for the constructor it will now be enforced.
|
| 5.3.3 |
Changed: Methods with the same name as the last element of
a namespaced
class name will no longer be treated as constructor. This change doesn't
affect non-namespaced classes.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Changed: Classes that implement interfaces with methods that have default
values in the prototype are no longer required to match the interface's default
value.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Changed: It's now possible to reference the class using a variable (e.g.,
echo $classname::constant;).
The variable's value can not be a keyword (e.g., self,
parent or static).
|
| 5.3.0 |
Changed: An E_WARNING level error is issued if
the magic overloading
methods are declared static.
It also enforces the public visibility requirement.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Changed: Prior to 5.3.0, exceptions thrown in the
__autoload function could not be
caught in the catch block, and
would result in a fatal error. Exceptions now thrown in the __autoload function
can be caught in the catch block, with
one provison. If throwing a custom exception, then the custom exception class must
be available. The __autoload function may be used recursively to autoload the
custom exception class.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Added: The __callStatic method.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Added: heredoc
and nowdoc
support for class const and property definitions.
Note: heredoc values must follow the same rules as double-quoted strings,
(e.g., no variables within).
|
| 5.3.0 |
Added: Late Static Bindings.
|
| 5.3.0 |
Added: The __invoke() method.
|
| 5.2.0 |
Changed: The __toString()
method was only called when it was directly combined with
echo or print.
But now, it is called in any string context (e.g. in
printf with %s modifier) but not
in other types contexts (e.g. with %d modifier).
Since PHP 5.2.0, converting objects without a __toString
method to string emits a E_RECOVERABLE_ERROR level error.
|
| 5.1.3 |
Changed: In previous versions of PHP 5, the use of var
was considered deprecated and would issue an E_STRICT
level error. It's no longer deprecated, therefore does not emit the error.
|
| 5.1.0 |
Changed: The __set_state() static
method is now called for classes exported by var_export.
|
| 5.1.0 |
Added: The __isset()
and __unset() methods.
