FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
|
||
|
|
||
|
PHP 3.0 RELEASED
|
||
|
|
||
|
June 6, 1998 -- The PHP Development Team announced the release of
|
||
|
PHP 3.0, the latest release of the server-side scripting solution already
|
||
|
in use on over 70,000 World Wide Web sites.
|
||
|
|
||
|
This all-new version of the popular scripting language includes support
|
||
|
for all major operating systems (Windows 95/NT, most versions of Unix,
|
||
|
and Macintosh) and web servers (including Apache, Netscape servers,
|
||
|
WebSite Pro, and Microsoft Internet Information Server).
|
||
|
|
||
|
PHP 3.0 also supports a wide range of databases, including Oracle, Sybase,
|
||
|
Solid, MySQ, mSQL, and PostgreSQL, as well as ODBC data sources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
New features include persistent database connections, support for the
|
||
|
SNMP and IMAP protocols, and a revamped C API for extending the language
|
||
|
with new features.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"PHP is a very programmer-friendly scripting language suitable for
|
||
|
people with little or no programming experience as well as the
|
||
|
seasoned web developer who needs to get things done quickly. The
|
||
|
best thing about PHP is that you get results quickly," said
|
||
|
Rasmus Lerdorf, one of the developers of the language.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"Version 3 provides a much more powerful, reliable and efficient
|
||
|
implementation of the language, while maintaining the ease of use and
|
||
|
rapid development that were the key to PHP's success in the past",
|
||
|
added Andi Gutmans, one of the implementors of the new language core.
|
||
|
|
||
|
"At Circle Net we have found PHP to be the most robust platform for
|
||
|
rapid web-based application development available today," said Troy
|
||
|
Cobb, Chief Technology Officer at Circle Net, Inc. "Our use of PHP
|
||
|
has cut our development time in half, and more than doubled our client
|
||
|
satisfaction. PHP has enabled us to provide database-driven dynamic
|
||
|
solutions which perform at phenomenal speeds."
|
||
|
|
||
|
PHP 3.0 is available for free download in source form and binaries for
|
||
|
several platforms at http://www.php.net/.
