Title: Hosting: PHP 5.5 available
Post by: katrinateuserv on August 12, 2014, 02:22:27 PM
Hello,

PHP 5.5 is now available for all Hosting plans with PHP support.

The conversion of the PHP version can be made for the entire hosting globally via the customer panel by using the "PHP Configuration".

New features of PHP 5.5 include an API for password hashing (using bcrypt algorithm) as well as the support of generators. Additionally the return values ​​of functions can be checked by using empty(). The opcode extension "OPcache extension" from Zend is now an integral part of PHP. Furthermore "foreach" allows the use of list() as well as non-scalar keys.

When upgrading to PHP 5.5, please note that some usual functions (mysql_query(),  mysql_connect(), etc.) have been classified as "deprecated" and therefore they may no longer be supported in later versions.

Additional information about migrating to PHP 5.5 can be found on the official developer site at http://php.net/manual/de/migration55.changes.php and under http://php.net/manual/de/migration55.deprecated.php

Note:
PHP 5.5 is currently not available for the shared SSL environment.


kind regards,
Katrin
