?? ??? 2002, Version 4.2.0
+- Added CLI (command line intrerface) sapi based on a cut-down version
+ of the CGI sapi which is more suited for writing shell scripts. Some of
+ the differences are: it prints no HTTP headers, displays plain text
+ error messages, does not change working directory, etc. "make install"
+ will install CLI SAPI version of php in {PREFIX}/bin/php while
+ CGI is renamed and installed as {PREFIX}/bin/php-cgi. (Edin)
- Clean up posix extension (no more unwanted warning messages, introduce
posix_errno() and posix_strerror() for fetching error messages); changed the
way posix_getgrnam() and posix_getgrgid() return their values (breaks BC but
makes more sense); do not include functions in symbol table which aren't
supported on host system. (Markus)
-- TIFF support for GetImageSize (Marcus)
+- Fixed HTTP file upload support to handle big files better. (Jani)
+- Added TIFF support for getimagesize(). (Marcus)
+- Added TIFF support for read_exif_data(). (Marcus)
- Changed the Velocis extension namespace to Birdstep to reflect new product
name. Added aliases for BC. (James)
-- Added test.php/txt to have a possibility to check ext/exif
- (Marcus)
-- Added TIFF support
- Changed parameters after checking bugdatabase and discussion with Rasmus
- 1st=Filename, 2nd=NeededSections
- If the 2nd parameter is not present or 0 or '' the function will return
- a result array even if no data was read from file.
- If the 2nd parameter is a string then that string describes which
- sections have to be present in the file to generate a result array.
- If none of the needed section is found the result will be false.
- Section strings are "ANY_TAG","IFD0","COMMENT","EXIF","GPS","INTEROP"
- "FPIX","APP12". Each string has to be separated by a colon. So
- "COMMENT,EXIF" returns an array if either a comment or an Exif
- section is present. "IFD0" is standard datastructure in a TIFF/JPEG
- file that contains image information. "EXIF" is the Exif structure
- of TIFF/JPEG (IFD0 subdirectory). "GPS", "INTEROP", "FPIX", "APP12"
- are additional IFD0 subdirectories. The APP12 support is an
- experimental Olympus support.
- (Marcus)
- Added safe_mode checks for opendir(). (jflemer)
-- Make the 2nd parameter to pgsql_fetch_* support NULL in case 3
- parameters are supplied, but you do not want to provide a row number
- yourself. (Derick)
-- Improved iconv with libc's iconv. (Yasuo)
+- Make the 2nd parameter to pgsql_fetch_* support NULL in case 3 parameters
+ are supplied, but you do not want to provide a row number yourself. (Derick)
+- Improved iconv() when using libc's iconv. (Yasuo)
- Added PHP_SAPI constant which contains the name of running SAPI. (Edin)
- Added ob_get_status() to get array of buffers and it's status. (Yasuo)
- Fixed crash bug with ob_end_*() function. ob_end_*() will not delete
internal information such as refcounts and true type names. (Jason)
- Added Andrei's tokenizer extension. (Stig)
- Removed ext/satellite. It is now part of PEAR. (eriksson)
-- Changed php.ini directive 'safe_mode_include_dir' to accept a
- (semi)colon separated path (like 'include_path') rather than

- Added is_a() function that can be used to test whether object is of a certain
class or is derived from it. (Andrei, Zend Engine)
-- Added optional parameter to highlight_string and highlight_file which
+- Added optional parameter to highlight_string() and highlight_file() which
makes these functions return a highlighted string instead of dumping
to standard output. (Derick)
-- Added EXTR_IF_EXISTS and EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS flags to extract()
- EXTR_IF_EXISTS only extracts a variable if it already exists
- EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS only extracts the variable if it exists and
- then it prepends the prefix to it. ie. if $PATH exists then
- extract($_ENV,EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS,'e') would result in $e_PATH
- This lets you do $a = $b = $c = true; extract($_REQUEST,EXTR_IF_EXISTS);
- and you only get the global request variables you have defined imported
- into your symbol table. (Rasmus)
+- Added EXTR_IF_EXISTS and EXTR_PREFIX_IF_EXISTS flags to extract(). (Rasmus)
- Fixed pg_pconnect(). It catches broken connection and reconnects to
PostgreSQL server always. When PostgreSQL is rebooted, web server reboot is
