Changelog

The following changes have been made to functions of bundled extensions.

VersionFunctionDescription
Since 5.3.0get_classNULL became the default value for object, so passing NULL to object now has the same result as not passing any value.
Since 5.2.1mt_srandThe Mersenne Twister implementation in PHP now uses a new seeding algorithm by Richard Wagner. Identical seeds no longer produce the same sequence of values they did in previous versions. This behavior is not expected to change again, but it is considered unsafe to rely upon it nonetheless.
Since 5.0.0get_classThe class name is returned in its original notation.
 get_classThe object parameter is optional if called from the object's method.
 get_parent_classThe object parameter is optional if called from the object's method.
Since 4.2.0mt_srandThe seed becomes optional and defaults to a random value if omitted.
 srandThe seed becomes optional and defaults to a random value if omitted.
Since 4.1.0bindecThe function can now convert numbers that are too large to fit into the platforms integer type, larger values are returned as float in that case.
 octdecThe function can now convert numbers that are too large to fit into the platforms integer type, larger values are returned as float in that case.
Since 4.0.5get_parent_classIf object is a string, returns the name of the parent class of the class with that name.
prior to 5.3.0get_object_varsIf the object isn't an object, then get_object_vars would return FALSE
Prior to 5.1.3imagecolorallocatealphaReturns -1 if the allocation failed.
Prior to 4.2.0get_class_varsUninitialized class variables will not be reported by get_class_vars
prior to 4.2.0get_object_varsIf the variables declared in the class of which the object is an instance, have not been assigned a value, those will not be returned in the array
PHP 5.3.2 (PECL OCI8 1.4)oci_set_prefetchBefore this release, rows must be >= 1.
PHP 5.3 (PECL OCI8 1.3.4)oci_set_prefetchBefore this release, prefetching was limited to the lesser of rows rows and 1024 * rows bytes. The byte size restriction has now been removed.
PHP 4.3.3ftruncatePrior to this release ftruncate returned an integer value of 1 on success, instead of boolean TRUE.
Before 5.1.0get_parent_classIf called without parameter outside object, this function would have returned NULL with a warning.
before 4.3.5dba_openopen mode "c" is broken for several internal handlers and truncates the database instead of appending data to an existent database. Also dbm and ndbm fail on mode "c" in typical configurations (this cannot be fixed).
5.4.0apache_child_terminate该函数目前也可以用于FastCGI模式了。以前,它仅在PHP作为Apapche的模块安装时支持。
 apache_request_headersThis function became available under FastCGI. Previously, it was supported only when PHP was installed as an Apache module.

 snmp_set_valueretrievalConstants SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN or SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY may be combined with SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT resulting different way of representing contents of value array element in return value of GET-function. If no SNMP_VALUE_{PLAIN,LIBRARY} constant is accompanying SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT, SNMP_VALUE_LIBRARY is used. Prior to 5.4.0 SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT effecively meant SNMP_VALUE_OBJECT|SNMP_VALUE_PLAIN.
