Performance Improvements ======================================== 1. Backward Incompatible Changes ======================================== - Date: . DateTime::createFromImmutable() now has a tentative return type of static, previously it was DateTime. . DateTimeImmutable::createFromMutable() now has a tentative return type of static, previously it was DateTimeImmutable. - ODBC: . The ODBC extension now escapes the username and password for the case when both a connection string and username/password are passed, and the string must be appended to. Before, user values containing values needing escaping could have created a malformed connection string, or injected values from user-provided data. The escaping rules should be identical to the .NET BCL DbConnectionOptions behaviour. - PDO_ODBC: . The PDO_ODBC extension also escapes the username and password when a connection string is passed. See the change to the ODBC extension for further details. - Standard: . glob() returns empty array if all paths are restricted by open_basedir. Previously the error was returned but that behavior was not consistent and did not work correctly for all patterns. . strtolower() and strtoupper() are no longer locale-sensitive. They now perform ASCII case conversion, as if the locale were "C". Use mb_strtolower() if you want localized case conversion. Similarly, stristr, stripos, strripos, lcfirst, ucfirst, ucwords, str_ireplace, array_change_key_case and sorting with SORT_FLAG_CASE use ASCII case conversion. . str_split() returns an empty array for an empty string now. Previously it returned an array with a single empty string entry. mb_str_split() is not affected by this change since it was already behaving like that. . ksort() and krsort() do numeric string comparison under SORT_REGULAR using the standard PHP 8 rules now. - SPL: . The following methods now enforce their signature: * SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex() * SplFileObject::getCsvControl() * SplFileObject::fflush() * SplFileObject::ftell() * SplFileObject::fgetc() * SplFileObject::fpassthru() . SplFileObject::hasChildren() now has a tentative return type of false, previously it was bool . SplFileObject::getChildren() now has a tentative return type of null, previously it was ?RecursiveIterator . GlogIterator returns empty array if all paths are restricted by open_basedir. Previously the error was returned but that behavior was not consistent and did not work correctly. ======================================== 2. New Features ======================================== - Core: . Added the #[\SensitiveParameter] attribute to redact sensitive data in backtraces. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/redact_parameters_in_back_traces . It is now possible to use null and false as standalone types. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/null-false-standalone-types . Added support for readonly classes. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/readonly_classes . Added support for true type. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/true-type . Added support for Disjoint Normal Form (DNF) types. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/dnf_types . Added error_log_mode ini setting that allows setting of permissions for error log file. . Added support for fetching properties of enums in constant expressions. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fetch_property_in_const_expressions . Added support for defining constants in traits. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/constants_in_traits - Curl: . Added CURLINFO_EFFECTIVE_METHOD option and returning the effective HTTP method in curl_getinfo() return value. . Exposed multiple new constants from libcurl 7.62 to 7.80. . Added new function curl_upkeep() to perform any connection upkeep checks. - DBA: . The LMDB Driver now accepts the DBA_LMDB_USE_SUB_DIR or DBA_LMDB_NO_SUB_DIR flags to determine if it should create a sub directory or not when creating a database file. - GMP: . GMP::__construct() can now be used instead of gmp_init() to initialize an object (Only as of PHP 8.2.3) - OCI8: . Added an oci8.prefetch_lob_size directive and oci_set_prefetch_lob() function to tune LOB query performance by reducing the number of round-trips between PHP and Oracle Database when fetching LOBS. This is usable with Oracle Database 12.2 or later. - OpenSSL: . Added AEAD support for chacha20-poly1305 algorithm. - ODBC: . Added odbc_connection_string_is_quoted, odbc_connection_string_should_quote, and odbc_connection_string_quote. These are primarily used behind the scenes in the ODBC and PDO_ODBC extensions, but is exposed to userland for easier unit testing, and for user applications and libraries to perform quoting themselves. - PCRE: . Added support for the "n" (NO_AUTO_CAPTURE) modifier, which makes simple `(xyz)` groups non-capturing. Only named groups like `(?<name>xyz)` are capturing. This only affects which groups are capturing, it is still possible to use numbered subpattern references, and the matches array will still contain numbered results. - Random: . New extension that organizes and consolidates existing implementations related to random number generators. New, higher quality RNGs are available and scope issues are eliminated. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rng_extension RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/random_extension_improvement ======================================== 3. Changes in SAPI modules ======================================== - FPM: . If setting user by its UID without setting a group, then the group is no longer set to 0 (root) but instead to the user assigned groups like it is when setting user by name. ======================================== 4. Deprecated Functionality ======================================== - Core: . Creation of dynamic properties is deprecated, unless the class opts in by using the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute. stdClass allows dynamic properties. Usage of __get()/__set() is not affected by this change. A dynamic properties deprecation warning can be addressed by: - Declaring the property (preferred). - Adding the #[AllowDynamicProperties] attribute to the class (which also applies to all child classes). - Using a WeakMap if you wish to associate additional data with an object you do not own. . Callables that are not accepted by the $callable() syntax (but are accepted by call_user_func) are deprecated. In particular: "self::method" "parent::method" "static::method" ["self", "method"] ["parent", "method"] ["static", "method"] ["Foo", "Bar::method"] [new Foo, "Bar::method"] This does not affect normal method callables like "A::method" or ["A", "method"]. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_partially_supported_callables RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/partially-supported-callables-expand-deprecation-notices . The "${var}" and "${expr}" style string interpolations are deprecated and will be removed in PHP 9. Use "$var"/"{$var}" or "{${expr}}", respectively. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecate_dollar_brace_string_interpolation - Mbstring: . Use of QPrint, Base64, Uuencode, and HTML-ENTITIES 'text encodings' is deprecated for all Mbstring functions. Unlike all the other text encodings supported by Mbstring, these do not encode a sequence of Unicode codepoints, but rather a sequence of raw bytes. It is not clear what the correct return values for most Mbstring functions should be when one of these non-encodings is specified. Further, PHP has separate, built-in implementations of all of them; for example, UUencoded data can be handled using convert_uuencode/convert_uudecode. - SPL: . The SplFileInfo::_bad_state_ex() internal method has been deprecated. - Standard: . utf8_encode() and utf8_decode() have been deprecated. ======================================== 5. Changed Functions ======================================== - Core . str*cmp, str*pos, substr_compare functions, using binary safe string comparison now return -1, 0 and 1. - DBA . dba_open() and dba_popen() now have the following enforced function signature dba_open(string $path, string $mode, ?string $handler = null, int $permission = 0o644, int $map_size = 0, ?int $flags = null) . dba_fetch()'s optional skip argument is now at the end in line with PHP userland semantics its signature now is: dba_fetch(string|array $key, $dba, int $skip = 0): string|false The overloaded signature dba_fetch(string|array $key, $skip, $dba): string|false is still accepted, but it is recommended to use the new standard variant. - MBString . mb_check_encoding() now checks input encoding more strictly for certain text encodings, including ISO-2022-JP and UTF-7. . mb_detect_encoding() now checks input encoding more strictly when strict detection is enabled. . mb_convert_encoding() checks the input encoding more strictly if multiple encodings are passed to from_encoding and the mbstring.strict_detection INI directive is set to 1. This change only affects the encoding selection, not the result of the conversion. - Random . random_bytes() and random_int() now throw \Random\RandomException on CSPRNG failure. Previously a plain \Exception was thrown. - SPL . The $iterator parameter of iterator_to_array() and iterator_count() is widened to iterable from Iterator, allowing arrays to be passed. RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/iterator_xyz_accept_array - Standard . unserialize() now performs a stricter validation of the structure of serialized objects. . mail() function reverts back to the mixed LF and CRLF new lines (behavior before PHP 8.0) if mail.mixed_lf_and_crlf INI is on. . When $additional_headers of mail() is an array, the same validation as `\r\n` is now applied to `\n` alone too. - XML . xml_parser_set_option() now actually returns false when attempting to set a negative tag start. Previously it returned true while emitting an E_WARNING. ======================================== 6. New Functions ======================================== - Curl: . curl_upkeep() (libcurl >= 7.62.0) - IMAP: . imap_is_open() (Only as of PHP 8.2.1) - mysqli: . mysqli_execute_query() - OpenSSL: . openssl_cipher_key_length(): Returns a key length for the supplied cipher. - Reflection: . ReflectionFunction::isAnonymous() . ReflectionMethod::hasPrototype() - Sodium: . sodium_crypto_stream_xchacha20_xor_ic() - Standard: . The peak memory usage can now be reset to the current usage thanks to memory_reset_peak_usage(). . ini_parse_quantity(): Parses "shorthand bytes" quantities returned by ini_get(). The function is suitable for parsing quantities whose int value is in the range [PHP_INT_MIN, PHP_INT_MAX]. Parsing and interpretation is consistent with ini_set() (see also the "Changes to INI File Handling" section). Caveats: Some ini settings may apply additional constraints to the resuling int value, such as a smaller range, that will not be reflected by ini_parse_quantity(). The `memory_limit` setting accepts values higher than PHP_INT_MAX, than can not be parsed by ini_parse_quantity(). - XML: . libxml_get_external_entity_loader() ======================================== 7. New Classes and Interfaces ======================================== ======================================== 8. Removed Extensions and SAPIs ======================================== ======================================== 9. Other Changes to Extensions ======================================== - Date: . DatePeriod properties are now properly declared. - Intl: . IntlBreakIterator, IntlRuleBasedBreakIterator, IntlCodePointBreakIterator, IntlPartsIterator, IntlCalendar, IntlCalendar, Collator, IntlIterator, UConverter, IntlDateFormatter, IntlDatePatternGenerator, MessageFormatter, ResourceBundle, Spoofchecker, IntlTimeZone and Transliterator instances are no longer serializable. Previously, they could be serialized, but unserialization yielded unusable objects or failed. - mysqli: . The support for libmysql has been removed. It's no longer possible to compile mysqli with libmysql and all relevant functionality has been removed. . The reconnect property of mysqli_driver has been removed. It was supported only by libmysql. . The INI directive mysqli.reconnect has been removed. . The constant MYSQLI_IS_MARIADB has been deprecated. - OCI8: . The minimum Oracle Client library version required is now 11.2. - PCRE: . NUL characters (\0) in pattern strings are now supported. - Session: . Trying to change the SameSite cookie INI setting while the session is active or output has already been sent will now fail and emit a warning. This aligns the behaviour with all other session INI settings. - SQLite3: . sqlite3.defensive is now PHP_INI_USER. - Standard: . getimagesize() now reports the actual image dimensions, bits and channels of AVIF images. Previously, the dimensions have been reported as 0x0, and bits and channels have not been reported at all. - Tidy: . tidy properties are now properly declared. . tidyNode properties are now properly declared as readonly. - Zip: . extension updated to 1.20.0 with new methods: ZipArchive::clearError, getStreamName and getStreamIndex ======================================== 10.

SO_ZEROCOPY (Linux) . MSG_ZEROCOPY (Linux) ======================================== 11. Changes to INI File Handling ======================================== - Support for binary and octal number prefixes for INI settings has been added. Previously only hexadecimal prefixes and using a leading 0 for octal numbers was supported. - Parsing of some ill-formatted values will now trigger a warning when this was silently ignored before. Interpretation of these values is not changed, for backwards compatibility. This affects the following settings: . bcmath.scale . com.code_page . default_socket_timeout . fiber.stack_size . hard_timeout . intl.error_level . ldap.max_links . max_input_nesting_level . max_input_vars . mbstring.regex_retry_limit . mbstring.regex_stack_limit . mysqli.allow_local_infile . mysqli.allow_persistent . mysqli.default_port . mysqli.max_links . mysqli.max_persistent . mysqli.reconnect . mysqli.rollback_on_cached_plink . mysqlnd.log_mask . mysqlnd.mempool_default_size . mysqlnd.net_read_buffer_size . mysqlnd.net_read_timeout . oci8.default_prefetch . oci8.max_persistent . oci8.persistent_timeout . oci8.ping_interval . oci8.prefetch_lob_size . oci8.privileged_connect . oci8.statement_cache_size . odbc.allow_persistent . odbc.check_persistent . odbc.defaultbinmode . odbc.default_cursortype . odbc.defaultlrl . odbc.max_links . odbc.max_persistent . opcache.consistency_checks . opcache.file_update_protection . opcache.force_restart_timeout . opcache.interned_strings_buffer . opcache.jit_bisect_limit . opcache.jit_blacklist_root_trace . opcache.jit_blacklist_side_trace . opcache.jit_debug . opcache.jit_hot_func . opcache.jit_hot_loop . opcache.jit_hot_return . opcache.jit_hot_side_exit . opcache.jit_max_exit_counters . opcache.jit_max_loop_unrolls . opcache.jit_max_polymorphic_calls . opcache.jit_max_recursive_calls . opcache.jit_max_recursive_returns . opcache.jit_max_root_traces . opcache.jit_max_side_traces . opcache.log_verbosity_level . opcache.max_file_size . opcache.opt_debug_level . opcache.optimization_level . opcache.revalidate_freq . output_buffering . pcre.backtrack_limit . pcre.recursion_limit . pgsql.max_links . pgsql.max_persistent . post_max_size . realpath_cache_size . realpath_cache_ttl . session.cache_expire . session.cookie_lifetime . session.gc_divisor . session.gc_maxlifetime . session.gc_probability . soap.wsdl_cache_limit . soap.wsdl_cache_ttl . unserialize_max_depth . upload_max_filesize . user_ini.cache_ttl . xmlrpc_error_number . zend.assertions . zlib.output_compression_level ======================================== 12. Windows Support ======================================== - Core: . Windows specific error messages are no longer localized, but instead in English to better match PHP error messages. . Preliminary and highly experimental support for building on ARM64 has been added. - OCI8: . Since building against Oracle Client 10g is no longer supported anyway, the configuration option --with-oci8 has been dropped. --with-oci8-11g, --with-oci8-12c and --with-oci8-19 are still supported. - Zip: . The Zip extension upgraded to version 1.21.0 . The Zip extension is now built as shared library (DLL) by default. ======================================== 13. Other Changes ======================================== - CLI: . The STDOUT, STDERR and STDIN are no longer closed on resource destruction which is mostly when the CLI finishes. It is however still possible to explicitly close those streams using fclose and similar. - Core: . The iterable type is now a built-in compile time alias for array|Traversable. Error messages relating to iterable will therefore now use array|Traversable. Type Reflection is preserved for single iterable (and ?iterable) to produce a ReflectionNamedType with name iterable, however usage of iterable in union types will be converted to array|Traversable ======================================== 14. Performance Improvements ========================================
