PHP is a widely-used general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited for Web development and can be embedded into HTML. Much of its syntax is borrowed from C, Java and Perl with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in. The goal of the language is to allow web developers to write dynamically generated pages quickly. It is a project of the Apache Software Foundation. Latest Changes:
Added new boolean (fourth) parameter to array_slice() that turns on the preservation of keys in the returned array
Added the sorting flag SORT_LOCALE_STRING to the sort() functions which makes them sort based on the current locale
Added interface_exists() and make class_exists() only return true for real classes
Added PHP_EOL constant that contains the OS way of representing newlines
