Deprecated features in PHP 5.3.x
PHP 5.3.0 introduces two new error levels: E_DEPRECATED
and E_USER_DEPRECATED
. The
E_DEPRECATED
error level is used to indicate that a
function or feature has been deprecated. The
E_USER_DEPRECATED
level is intended for indicating
deprecated features in user code, similarly to the
E_USER_ERROR
and E_USER_WARNING
levels.
The following is a list of deprecated INI directives. Use of any of these INI
directives will cause an E_DEPRECATED
error to be thrown
at startup.
- define_syslog_variables
- register_globals
- register_long_arrays
- safe_mode
- magic_quotes_gpc
- magic_quotes_runtime
- magic_quotes_sybase
- Comments starting with '#' are now deprecated in .INI files.
