PHP developers should be aware of this, so that your scripts will be able to upgrade if needed, when the time comes. Although the PHP 6 development process has been a slow one, it is coming. PHP 6 features being ported to PHP 5.3.x Much of what is going to be a part of PHP 6 is actually being implemented now in PHP 5.3.x. Here is a guide to new features from the official PHP site, that may be used with the current version: * Support for namespaces has been added. * Support for Late Static Bindings has been added. * Support for jump labels (limited goto) has been added. * Support for native Closures (Lambda/Anonymous functions) has been added. * There are two new magic methods, __callStatic and __invoke. * Nowdoc syntax is now supported, similar to Heredoc syntax, but with single quotes. * It is now possible to use Heredocs to initialize static variables and class properties/constants. * Heredocs may now be declared using double quotes, complementing the Nowdoc syntax. * Constants can now be declared outside a class using the const keyword. * The ternary operator now has a shorthand form: ?:. * The HTTP stream wrapper now considers all status codes from 200 to 399 to be successful. * Dynamic access to static methods is now possible. * Exceptions can now be nested. * A garbage collector has been added, and is enabled by default.
