Why PHP 5.3?
 Faster
 Better tested
 Officially supported on all Windows platforms
 Loads of new features
Selected PHP 5.3 Highlights
 Namespaces
 Late Static Binding
 New extensions: fileinfo, intl, Phar
 New datastructures in SPL
 SQLite3
 mysqlnd
 Garbage Collection
Namespaces
 Work for classes, functions and constants
 Namespace separator: \
 Work like directory navigation
 Relative Path
namespace foo\bar + class baz = foo\bar\baz
namespace foo + class bar\baz = foo\bar\baz
 Absolute Path
namespace foo\bar + class \baz = \baz
 Prepend built-in classes and functions with \
 throw new \Exception
 \strlen(...)
Namespaces Example

namespace my\Application\Models;
use Framework\Model\ModelBase as Model;

class UserModel extends Model


{
...
}
Late Static Binding Example

class BaseClass
{
static protected $foo = 'foo';

static public function getFoo()


{
return self::$foo;
}
}

var_dump(BaseClass::getFoo());

Will output: string(3) "foo"


Late Static Binding Example

class SubClass extends BaseClass


{
static protected $foo = 'bar';
}

var_dump(SubClass::getFoo());

Will output: string(3) "foo"


Late Static Binding Example

class BaseClass
{
static protected $foo = 'foo';

static public function getFoo()


{
return static::$foo;
}
}

var_dump(SubClass::getFoo());

Will output: string(3) "bar"


Late Static Binding Example

class SomeClass
{
static public function foo()
{
var_dump('foo method');
}
}

$classname = 'SomeClass';
$classname::foo();

Will output: string(10) "foo method"


Phar
 PHP Archive
 Stream wrapper-based
PHP extension + Userland implementation
 Can be executable
 No temporary files involved
 php.ini: phar.readonly=Off;
You cannot set this at runtime!
Phar Example

src/:
... any files ...

stub.php:
Phar::mapPhar('alias.phar');
...
__HALT_COMPILER();

create_phar.php:
$phar = new Phar('executable.phar');
$phar->buildFromDirectory('./src');
$phar->setStub(
file_get_contents('./stub.php'));
Migration Problems

 Environment
 Old Extensions
 Compile-time errors
 Name Conflicts
 More strictness
 Runtime errors
 New error messages (E_DEPRECATED)
 Logic errors
 Altered behaviour
Altered function behaviour

$haystack = 'hello world';


$needle = 'lo';

var_dump(strrpos($haystack, $needle));
Altered function behaviour

$haystack = 'hello world';


$needle = 'lo';

var_dump(strrpos($haystack, $needle));

PHP 4: int(9)
Altered function behaviour

$haystack = 'hello world';


$needle = 'lo';

var_dump(strrpos($haystack, $needle));

PHP 4: int(9)
PHP 5: int(3)
Solution: Create a wrapper

function strrpos_wrapper($haystack,
$needle,
$offset = 0)
{
return strrpos($haystack,
substr($needle, 0, 1),
$offset);
}
More Strictness

abstract class Test


{
abstract static function foo();
}

Strict standards:
Static function should not be abstract
More Strictness

abstract class Test


{
abstract private function foo();
}

Fatal error:
Abstract function cannot be declared private
Useful Tools

 Lint: php -l
 Validators (HTML, XML, CSS, JS)
 PHPUnit
 http://www.phpunit.de
 Selenium
 http://seleniumhq.org
 xdebug
 http://www.xdebug.org
xdebug Function Trace
Mocking

include_once './library/function.php';

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {


var_dump(get_random_value());
}

library/function.php:

function get_random_value()
{
return rand(1, 10);
}
Mocking

mock_library/function.php:

function get_random_value()
{
static $i = 0;
static $random_values =
array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5);

return $random_values[$i++];
}
Mocking

include_once './mock_library/function.php';

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {


var_dump(get_random_value());
}
How To Migrate

 Fix errors/warnings/notices
 Normalize the PHP configuration
 Set up two test systems, old and new
 Do A/B testing
 Compare the results
 Fix the problems
 Switch the production system
Future­Proof PHP Configuration

 ze1.compatibility_mode=Off
 allow_call_time_pass_reference=Off
 register_globals=Off
 magic_quotes_*=Off
 register_long_arrays=Off
