14. Performance Improvements
========================================
1. Backward Incompatible Changes
========================================
- CLI:
. The builtin server looks for an index file recursively by traversing parent
directories in case the specified file cannot be located. This process was
previously skipped if the path looked like it was referring to a file, i.e.
if the last path component contained a period. In that case, a 404 error was
returned. The behavior has been changed to look for an index file in all
cases.
- Core:
. The type of PHP_DEBUG and PHP_ZTS constants changed to bool.
. The name of uploaded files and files created by the tempnam() function are
now 13 bytes longer. Total length is platform-dependent.
. Encountering recursion during comparison now results in a Error exception,
rather than a fatal error.
. Indirect modification of readonly properties within __clone() is no longer
allowed, e.g. $ref = &$this->readonly. This was already forbidden for
readonly initialization, and was an oversight in the "readonly
reinitialization during cloning" implementation.
- DBA:
. dba_open() and dba_popen() will now return a Dba\Connection
object rather than a resource. Return value checks using is_resource()
should be replaced with checks for `false`.
- DOM:
. Added DOMNode::compareDocumentPosition() and DOMNode::DOCUMENT_POSITION_*
constants.
If you have a method or constant with the same name, you might encounter errors
if the declaration is incompatible.
. Some DOM methods previously returned false or a PHP_ERR DOMException if a new
node could not be allocated. They consistently throw an INVALID_STATE_ERR
DOMException now. This situation is extremely unlikely though and probably
will not affect you. As a result DOMImplementation::createDocument() now has
a tentative return type of DOMDocument instead of DOMDocument|false.
. Previously, DOMXPath objects could be cloned, but resulted in an unusable
object. This is no longer possible, and cloning a DOMXPath object now throws
an error.
. DOMDocument::$actualEncoding, DOMDocument::config, DOMEntity::$actualEncoding,
DOMEntity::$encoding, DOMEntity::$version have been deprecated as part of the
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecations_php_8_4 RFC.
- GMP:
. The GMP class is now final and cannot be extended anymore.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/gmp-final
. Casting a GMP object to bool changed so that 0 becomes false and everything else
becomes true.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/fix_up_bcmath_number_class
- Intl:
. resourcebundle_get(), ResourceBundle::get(), and accessing offsets on a
ResourceBundle object now throw:
- TypeError for invalid offset types
- ValueError for an empty string
- ValueError if the integer index does not fit in a signed 32 bit integer
- MBString:
. mb_encode_numericentity() and mb_decode_numericentity() now check that
the $map is only composed of integers, if not a ValueError is thrown.
. mb_http_input() now always throws a ValueError if the $type is invalid.
. mb_http_output() now checks that the $encoding parameter does not
contain any null bytes. If it does, a ValueError is now thrown.
. On invalid strings (those with encoding errors), mb_substr() now interprets
character indices in the same manner as most other mbstring functions. This
means that character indices returned by mb_strpos() can be passed to mb_substr().
. For SJIS-Mac (MacJapanese) strings, character indices passed to mb_substr() now
refer to the indices of the Unicode codepoints which are produced when the string
is converted to Unicode. This is significant because around 40 SJIS-Mac characters
convert to a sequence of multiple Unicode codepoints.
- ODBC:
. odbc_fetch_row() returns false when a value less than or equal to 0 is
passed for parameter $row. Now, a warning is emitted in this case.
. odbc_connect() and odbc_pconnect() will now return an Odbc\Connection
object rather than a resource. Return value checks using is_resource()
should be replaced with checks for `false`.
. odbc_prepare(), odbc_exec(), and various other functions will now return
an Odbc\Result object rather than a resource. Return value checks using
is_resource() should be replaced with checks for `false`.
- Opcache:
. The JIT config defaults changed from opcache.jit=tracing and
opcache.jit_buffer_size=0 to opcache.jit=disable and
opcache.jit_buffer_size=64M, respectively. This does not affect the default
behavior, the JIT is still disabled by default. However, it is now disabled
through the opcache.jit setting, rather than opcache.jit_buffer_size. This
may affect users who previously enabled JIT through opcache.jit_buffer_size
exclusively, without also specifying a JIT mode using opcache.jit. To enable
JIT, set the opcache.jit config value accordingly.
. The maximum value of the opcache.interned_strings_buffer setting on 64bit
architectures is now 32767 (it was previously 4095).
. If JIT is enabled, PHP will now exit with a fatal error on startup in case
of JIT startup initialization issues.
- PCRE:
. The bundled pcre2lib has been updated to version 10.44.
As a consequence, this means {,3} is now recognized as a quantifier instead
of as text. Furthermore, the meaning of some character classes in UCP mode
has changed. Consult https://github.com/PCRE2Project/pcre2/blob/master/NEWS
for a full changelog.
- PDO_DBLIB:
. setAttribute, DBLIB_ATTR_STRINGIFY_UNIQUEIDENTIFIER and DBLIB_ATTR_DATETIME_CONVERT
have been changed to set value as a bool.
- PDO_FIREBIRD:
. Since some Firebird C++ APIs are used now, this extension requires a C++
compiler to be built.
. getAttribute, ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT has been changed to get the value as a bool.
- PDO_MYSQL:
. getAttribute, ATTR_AUTOCOMMIT, ATTR_EMULATE_PREPARES, MYSQL_ATTR_DIRECT_QUERY have
been changed to get values as bool.
- PDO_PGSQL:
. The DSN's credentials, when set, are given priority over their PDO
constructor counterparts, being closer to the documentation states.
- PCNTL:
. The functions pcntl_sigprocmask(), pcntl_sigwaitinfo() and
pcntl_sigtimedwait() now throw:
- A ValueError if the $signals array is empty (except for
pcntl_sigprocmask() if the $mode is SIG_SETMASK).
- A TypeError if a value of the $signals array is not an integer
- A ValueError if a value of the $signals array is not a valid signal number
Moreover, those functions now always return false on failure.
In some case previously it could return the value -1.
. The function pcntl_sigprocmask() will also now throw:
- A ValueError if $mode is not one of SIG_BLOCK, SIG_UNBLOCK, or SIG_SETMASK
. The function pcntl_sigtimedwait() will also now throw:
- A ValueError if $seconds is less than 0
- A ValueError if $nanoseconds is less than 0 or greater than 1e9
- A ValueError if both $seconds and $nanoseconds are 0
- SimpleXML:
. Get methods called, or casting to a string on a SimpleXMLElement will no
longer implicitly reset the iterator data, unless explicitly rewound.
For example, casting an element to a string within a foreach loop would
cause an infinite loop because it destroyed the current iterator data.
This is no longer the case as a consequence of the bugfixes for GH-12192,
GH-12208, #55098.
. Calling simplexml_import_dom() with a non-XML object now throws a TypeError
instead of a ValueError.
- SOAP:
. SoapClient::$httpurl is now a Soap\Url object rather than a resource.
Checks using is_resource() (i.e. is_resource($client->httpurl)) should be
replaced with checks for null (i.e. $client->httpurl !== null).
. SoapClient::$sdl is now a Soap\Sdl object rather than a resource.
Checks using is_resource() (i.e. is_resource($client->sdl)) should be
replaced with checks for null (i.e. $client->sdl !== null).
. SoapClient::$typemap is now an array rather than a resource.
Checks using is_resource() (i.e. is_resource($client->typemap)) should be
replaced with checks for null (i.e. $client->typemap !== null).
. The SOAP extension gained an optional dependency on the session extension.
If you build PHP without the session extension and with --enable-rtld-now,
you will experience errors on startup if you also use the SOAP extension.
To solve this, either don't use rtld-now or load the session extension.
- SPL:
. Out of bounds accesses in SplFixedArray now throw an exception of type
OutOfBoundsException instead of RuntimeException. As OutOfBoundsException
is a child class of RuntimeException, code that uses RuntimeException
continues to function.
- Standard:
. round() now validates the value of the $mode parameter and throws a ValueError
for invalid modes. Previously invalid modes would have been interpreted as
PHP_ROUND_HALF_UP.
. strcspn() with empty $characters now returns the length of the string instead
of incorrectly stopping at the first NUL character. See GH-12592.
. The str_getcsv() function now throws ValueErrors when the $separator and
$enclosure arguments are not one byte long, or if the $escape is not one
byte long or the empty string. This aligns the behaviour to be identical
to that of fputcsv() and fgetcsv().
- Tidy:
. Failures in the constructor now throw exceptions rather than emitting
warnings and having a broken object.
- XML:
. The xml_set_*_handler() functions now declare and check for an effective
signature of callable|string|null for the $handler parameters.
Moreover, values of type string that correspond to method names,
of object set with xml_set_object() are now checked to see if the method
exists on the class of the previously passed object.
This means that xml_set_object() must now always be called prior to setting
method names as callables.
Passing an empty string to disable the handler is still allowed,
but deprecated.
- XMLReader:
. Passing an invalid character encoding to XMLReader::open() or
XMLReader::XML() now throws a ValueError. Passing a string containing NULL
bytes previously emitted a warning and now throws a ValueError as well.
- XMLWriter:
. Passing a string containing NULL bytes previously emitted a warning and
now throws a ValueError.
- XSL:
. XSLTProcessor::setParameter() will now throw a ValueError when its arguments
contain null bytes. This never actually worked correctly in the first place,
which is why it throws an exception nowadays.
. Failure to call a PHP function callback during evaluation now throws
instead of emitting a warning.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/improve_callbacks_dom_and_xsl
. Calling XSLTProcessor::importStyleSheet() with a non-XML object now throws
a TypeError instead of a ValueError.
========================================
2. New Features
========================================

. Added the #[\Deprecated] attribute.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/deprecated_attribute

namespace block, even if a previous namespace block declared a symbol with
the same name.
See Zend/tests/use_function/ns_end_resets_seen_symbols_1.phpt.
- Curl:
. curl_version() returns an additional feature_list value, which is an
associative array of all known Curl features, and whether they are

========================================
5. Changed Functions
========================================
- Core:
. trigger_error() and user_error() now have a return type of true instead of
bool.
- DOM:
. DOMDocument::registerNodeClass() now has a tentative return type of true.
Previously, the return type was bool but only true could be returned in practice.
- GD:
. imagejpeg/imagewebp/imagepng/imageavif throws an exception if an invalid
quality parameter value is passed. In addition, imageavif will throw an exception
if an invalid speed parameter value is passed.
. imagescale throws an exception if the width/height argument underflows/overflows or
if the mode argument is invalid.
imagefilter with IMG_FILTER_SCATTER throws an exception if the sub/plus arguments
underflows/overflows.
- Gettext:
. bind_textdomain_codeset, textdomain and d(*)gettext functions now throw an exception
if the domain argument is empty.
- Hash:
. Changed the return type of hash_update() to true. It was already the case that only
true could be returned, but the stub was not updated yet.
- Intl:
. IntlDateFormatter::__construct() throws a ValueError if the locale is invalid.
. NumberFormatter::__construct() throws a ValueError if the locale is invalid.
. NumberFormatter::ROUND_TOWARD_ZERO and NumberFormatter::ROUND_AWAY_FROM_ZERO
have been added as aliases for NumberFormatter::ROUND_DOWN and
NumberFormatter::ROUND_UP to be consistent with the new PHP_ROUND_* modes.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_rounding_modes_to_round_function
. ResourceBundle::get() now has a tentative return type of:
ResourceBundle|array|string|int|null
- LibXML:
. libxml_set_streams_context() now immediately throws a TypeError when a
non-stream-context resource is passed to the function, instead of throwing
later when the stream context is used.
- MBString:
. The behavior of mb_strcut is more consistent now on invalid UTF-8 and UTF-16
strings. (For valid UTF-8 and UTF-16 strings, there is no change.)
- OpenSSL:
. The extra_attributes parameter in openssl_csr_new sets CSR attributes
instead of subject DN which was incorrectly done previously.
. The dn parameter in openssl_csr_new allows setting array of values for
a single entry.
. New serial_hex parameter added to openssl_csr_sign to allow setting serial
number in the hexadecimal format.
. Parsing ASN.1 UTCTime by openssl_x509_parse fails if seconds are omitted
for OpenSSL version below 3.2 (-1 is returned for such fields). The
OpenSSL version 3.3+ does not load such certificates already.
- ODBC:
. Parameter $row of odbc_fetch_object(), odbc_fetch_array(), and
odbc_fetch_into() now has a default value of null, consistent with
odbc_fetch_row(). Previously, the default values were -1, -1, and 0,
respectively.
- Output:
. Output handler status flags passed to the flags parameter of ob_start
are now cleared.
- PDO:
. getAttribute, enabled to get the value of ATTR_STRINGIFY_FETCHES.
- PDO_FIREBIRD:
. getAttribute, enabled to get values of FB_ATTR_DATE_FORMAT, FB_ATTR_TIME_FORMAT,
FB_ATTR_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT.
. Added new attributes to specify transaction isolation level and access mode.
Along with these, five constants (Pdo\Firebird::TRANSACTION_ISOLATION_LEVEL,
Pdo\Firebird::READ_COMMITTED, Pdo\Firebird::REPEATABLE_READ,
Pdo\Firebird::SERIALIZABLE, Pdo\Firebird::WRITABLE_TRANSACTION) have been added.
. When using persistent connections, there is now a liveness check in the
constructor.
. The content that is built changes depending on the value of FB_API_VER in
ibase.h, so added static method Pdo\Firebird::getApiVersion() to obtain that
value. This value can also be referenced from phpinfo.
. Five new data types are now available: INT128, DEC16, DEC34, TIMESTAMP_TZ, TIME_TZ.
These are available starting with Firebird 4.0.
- PDO_MYSQL:
. getAttribute, enabled to get the value of ATTR_FETCH_TABLE_NAMES.
- PDO_PGSQL:
. getAttribute() can now retrieve the memory usage of query results.
PDO::PGSQL_ATTR_RESULT_MEMORY_SIZE was added for this feature.
- PGSQL:
. pg_select, the conditions arguments accepts an empty array and is optional.
- POSIX:
. posix_isatty now sets the error number when the file descriptor/stream argument
is invalid.
- Reflection:
. ReflectionGenerator::getFunction() may now be called after the generator
finished executing.
- Sockets:
. Parameter $backlog of socket_create_listen() now has a default value of SOMAXCONN.
Previously, it was 128.
- SPL:
. SplPriorityQueue::insert() and SplPriorityQueue::recoverFromCorruption()
now has a tentative return type of true
. SplHeap::insert() and SplHeap::recoverFromCorruption()
now has a tentative return type of true instead of bool
- Standard:
. The internal implementation for rounding to integers has been rewritten
to be easier to verify for correctness and to be easier to maintain.
Some rounding bugs have been fixed as a result of the rewrite. For
example previously rounding 0.49999999999999994 to the nearest integer
would have resulted in 1.0 instead of the correct result 0.0. Additional
inputs might also be affected and result in different outputs compared to
earlier PHP versions.
. The $mode parameter of the round() function has been widened to RoundingMode|int,
accepting instances of a new RoundingMode enum.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/correctly_name_the_rounding_mode_and_make_it_an_enum
. Four new modes have been added to the round() function: RoundingMode::PositiveInfinity,
RoundingMode::NegativeInfinity, RoundingMode::TowardsZero, RoundingMode::AwayFromZero.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/new_rounding_modes_to_round_function
. Fixed a bug caused by "pre-rounding" of the round() function. Previously, using
"pre-rounding" to treat a value like 0.285 (actually 0.28499999999999998) as a
decimal number and round it to 0.29. However, "pre-rounding" incorrectly rounds
certain numbers, so this fix removes "pre-rounding" and changes the way numbers
are compared, so that the values are correctly rounded as decimal numbers.
. The maximum precision that can be handled by round() has been extended by one
digit. For example, `round(4503599627370495.5)` returned in `4503599627370495.5`,
but now returns `4503599627370496`.
. The default value of the 'cost' option for PASSWORD_BCRYPT for password_hash()
has been increased from '10' to '12'.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/bcrypt_cost_2023
. debug_zval_dump() now indicates whether an array is packed.
. long2ip() now returns string instead of string|false.
. output_add_rewrite_var() now uses url_rewriter.hosts instead of
session.trans_sid_hosts for selecting hosts that will be rewritten.
. highlight_string() now has a return type of string|true instead of string|bool.
. print_r() now has a return type of string|true instead of string|bool.

functions to support the AEGIS family of authenticated encryption algorithms,
that was introduced in libsodium 1.0.19.
. sodium_crypto_aead_aes256gcm_*() functions are now enabled on aarch64 CPUs
with the ARM cryptographic extensions.
- SPL:
. Added seek() method to SplObjectStorage, now it implements
SeekableIterator.
- Standard:

RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/rfc1867-non-post
- DOM:
. Implemented DOM HTML5 parsing and serialization.
RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/domdocument_html5_parser.
This RFC adds the new Dom namespace along with new classes and
constant aliases.
There are two new classes to handle HTML and XML documents:
Dom\HTMLDocument and Dom\XMLDocument.
These classes provide a cleaner API to handle HTML and XML documents.
Furthermore, the Dom\HTMLDocument class implements spec-compliant HTML5
parsing and serialization.
. Implemented opt-in ext/dom spec compliance RFC.
This adds new classes in the DOM namespace that correspond to modern
equivalents to the old DOM classes in the global namespaces.
