14 DAY TRIAL // PHP, 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 updated to version 5.5.9.
PHP 5.x includes a new OOP model based on the Zend Engine 2.0, a new extension for improved MySQL support, built-in native support for SQLite, and much more.
According to the changelog, a heap overflow vulnerability in imagecrop has been fixed, PHP no longer crashes if opcache.interned_strings_buffer=0, and PDO-pgsql can now connect if the password contains spaces.
Also, the session module is no longer sending multiple set-cookie headers when session.use_strict_mode=1, the basename function now removes the drive letter, and the compilation of the PHP extension with C++ std library using VS 2012 no longer fails.
You can check out the official changelog in the readme file incorporated in the source package for more details about this release. Download PHP 5.5.9 right now from Softpedia.
