Name : php Product : Fedora 16 Version : 5.3.8 Release : 3.fc16 URL : http://www.php.net/ Summary : PHP scripting language for creating dynamic web sites Description : PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also offers built-in database integration for several commercial and non-commercial database management systems, so writing a database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts. The php package contains the module which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: * Revert is_a() behavior to php <= 5.3.6 and add a new new option (allow_string) for the new behavior (accept string and raise autoload if needed) * Provides MySQL Native Driver in new php-mysqlnd package.
