Thread: PHP Future ...?

Hi,

How will be the php future...?

Well, it seems that PHP will always exists. I am watching from almost 6-7 years that PHP is slowly capturing the market. Previously only small-scale companies used to do work in PHP, but now I can see that even the bigger companies are doing PHP projects.

are you worried that PHP might be obsolete soon? I really don't think so...

well PHP 6 will be comming soon plus open source will never dies

As you may have seen, August 8, 2008 saw the release of PHP 4.4.9, the last version of PHP 4, ever. In other words, support for PHP 4 by the PHP developers has now officially ended.


For those of you still running your site on PHP 4, now would be a good time to start looking into upgrading to PHP 5. Check with your hosting service.


What does this mean for Geeklog? While there is no immediate pressure to drop support for PHP 4, it would certainly make our lives a bit easier. There will be a bugfix release for Geeklog 1.5.0 with the exact same minimal requirements as 1.5.0 (i.e. PHP 4.1.0). After that, we will start integrating the results of this year's Summer of code - and we may very well raise the minimum requirements a bit for that release.


But by how much? Let's have a poll to find out what you are running on.

PHP is already popular, used in millions of domains (according to Netcraft), supported by most ISPs and used by household-name Web companies like Yahoo! The upcoming versions of PHP aim to add to this success by introducing new features that make PHP more usable in some cases and more secure in others. Are you ready for PHP V6? If you were upgrading tomorrow, would your scripts execute just fine or would you have work to do? This article focuses on the changes for PHP V6 — some of them back-ported to versions PHP V5.x — that could require some tweaks to your current scripts.
If you're not using PHP yet and have been thinking about it, take a look at its latest features. These features, from Unicode to core support for XML, make it even easier for you to write feature-filled PHP applications.

php v6 is the latest release,which supports XML for filled php applications...php v5.x provides scripts ....it is most widely used in all cms applications..joomla is also built in php..

PHP will always be there in the future ...It has a good flexibility in coding

Until they create something new, bigger and better to replace the internet.

I am very worried about the PHP... because this is use some spacial website...
