PHP 5.5.15, an HTML-embedded scripting language with syntax borrowed from C, Java, and Perl, with a couple of unique PHP-specific features thrown in, has been released and is now available for download.

The PHP 5.x branch includes a new OOP model based on the Zend Engine, a new extension for improved MySQL support, built-in native support for SQLite, and many more features.

“The PHP Development Team announces the immediate availability of PHP 5.5.15. This release fixes several bugs against PHP 5.5.14. All PHP users are encouraged to upgrade to this new version,” say the developers in the official announcement.

According to the changelog, the CLI server is no longer missing some of the new HTTP response codes, an empty header no longer causes the PHP built-in web server to hang, the Autoloader is now called if two method definitions don't match, the installation no longer fails to install libphp5.so on FreeBSD 10.0, the syslog can now be set in the pool configuration, and a redirection loop on nginx with FPM has been fixed.
