php 5.3 is now available in cpanel’s easyapache

February 2nd, 2010 No Comments   Posted in Centos, cpanel

Cpanel has released php 5.3 in easyapache but there are several features which are missing in php 5.3.

Like php 5.3 does not support Zend. However PHP 5.3.1 introduces namespaces, late static binding, decreased memory usage (YMMV), several new extensions, and improved MySQL support.  Be sure to check your scripts for compatibility before going live with PHP 5.3.1 on a production server.  Some scripts will be affected by some of the changes, so testing is extremely important.
