After a long time of waiting, PHP announced 5.4 release on 1 March (also, today they announced
|
||
that they finally migrate to Git, which is sweet from my point of view, but it doesn’t really
|
||
matter).
|
||
|
||
About a year ago we became very agressive towards a developer who created our internal e-learning
|
||
system. Their database was very insecure, and they didn’t really follow industry standards in
|
||
many ways. Thus, we forced them to move from Windows + Apache 2.0 + PHP 5.2 + MySQL 4.0 to Debian
|
||
Linux 6.0 + Apache 2.2 + PHP 5.3 + MySQL 5.1. It was fun (well, from our point of view), as their
|
||
coders… well… they are not so good. The code that ran “smoothly” on the old system failed at many
|
||
points on the new one. So they code and code, and write more code. And they still didn’t finish.
|
||
And now 5.4 is here. Okay, I know it will take some time to get into the Debian repositories, but
|
||
it’s here. And they removed ``register_globals``, which will kill that funny code again at so
|
||
many points that they will soon get to rewrite the whole code to make it work. And I just sit
|
||
here in my so-much-comfortable chair, and laugh. Am I evil?
