Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued.

The PHP development team hereby announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5.

For documentation on migration for PHP 4 to PHP 5, we would like to point you to our migration guide. There is additional information available in the PHP 5.0 to PHP 5.1 and PHP 5.1 to PHP 5.2 migration guides as well.

Bad things happens from time to time…
Today my zend environment crashed. Issue was some JRE error… as below
Googled a bit for the solution, and i found something that might help others to have a short advice on how to fix it.

“Invocation of this Java Application has caused an InvocationTargetException. This application will now exit. (LAX)”.
After pressing ‘Details’, this error is displayed:
Application Exception Details:
java.lang.StackOverflowError

Why? The Zend support said: “This problem is due to a problem in the configurations files of ZDE.” Even i did not changed anything from yesterday… but…:) they have right. following next step, all works again.

1. Close ZDE.
2. Locate the fileTypes directory under
{your user home directory}\ZDE\config_x.x\fileTypes and delete it.
(For versions of Zend Studio older than 3.5.x this directory is named:
{Your user home directory}\ZDE\config\fileTypes)
3. Start ZDE again.

Hope that will help somebody, and release him from spending time by searching for solutions, as i did…
