PHP5.0.0 Beta 1 and vBulletin
 

I noticed today on PHP.net that PHP5 Beta 1 has been released, and scrummaged through the articles and some threads on Sitepoint looking for more info.

So... for anyone somewhat fluent in PHP5, do you know if it is compatible with vBulletin 3? This might seem like a foolish question, but I've read compatibility problems with PHP5 Beta 1 and MySQL, and other things.

I've also read some issues with PHP5 and Apache.. where installation spills tons of errors. If anyone has installed it on a Windows platform with Apache, and experienced no errors, please let me know.

With that said, how about some PHP5 talk? I haven't seen any threads around the forum concerning it. ;)

Here is a short glimpse at some of the major improvements, as quoted from PHP.net:

Ackk I sure hope Vb will not have to redo more due to that...

Whats this SQLite thing? I know its a database app like mySQL and is suppose to be faster. Anyone have any info they would like to share?

I looked at the site, and it appears to be some integrated SQL database for PHP, being that it is shipped with PHP5. Based around C/C++ syntax or something. Can't say much more than that though, mainly because I'm not too interested in it.

Heh...

I don't like the sound of this;)

I do hope all these rumours aren't true:)

Satan

hmm, we'll see how it is ^^

maybe i'll install a beta version on one of my servers ;)

PHP5 will kick ass :)

To tell if it runs with vB3, install both PHP5 and vB3 on localhost :p

PHP5 - great now i have to go learn OOP :(

- miSt

OOP > POP (procedure-oriented programming) :)

PHP already has OO, you just don't have to use it if you don't want to. I think PHP5's OO will be the same: you can make the language as OO as you want it to be.

I ran Apache 2/MySQL 4/PHP5 a while back...Didn't play too well with vB2.

PHP5 has been available through CVS for a while now.

I havern'tr tried it with vB3 though.
