PHP 5 - What New Usage Can I Tap Into?

Post by jbh »

Hey,

I'm curious, what new features have you noticed that provide real world usage benefits in php 5? I just upgraded to 5.2 (still have mysql 4+)
and I am wondering if there are new security settings or OOP methods I should master, over anything else, so I can boost the
intelligence/reliability of my apps.

I feel like I am so behind being a php 4 monkey and I have always wanted to just sit down and delve into it. Since I plan to offer my own membership services
from mysql processing to template usage I figure maybe I could learn something from you geniuses ;)

Thank you for your time. It's been a while since I can talk code and it's good to be here.
