Latest Version of PHP

Post by Koji »

What is the newest version that one would use to start off with? I went to their site and thought it might be 4.3.2RC4 until i click on it and it takes me to a new page where it looks like its just for testing.

RC stands for release candidate
a release candidate #4 can be considered as very near to the release version.
What do you want to use it for?

You mean the QA team? I believe they are the ones who anylize the release before it becomes official and also suggest things to be added/removed.

The file you might want is right on the main page of that site in the middle.

Hi Koji....

Hope this helps - I'm only at this about a month myself. I downloaded ver 4.3.1 about a month ago - its worth looking for documentation that supports this version (books etc) as It can be a bit of a nightmare following old docs and trying to compensate for having globals "switched off" I found function such as trim don't work in this version and have to use vars such as $_Files to get success in its place

:lol:
