E_DEPRECATED

While adding new features is a key part of any new technology release, PHP 5.3 also does something different -- it makes it clearer which features may soon be disappearing.

The release provides for a new error code called E_DEPRECATED, which lets developers know where certainly functionality is set to be removed from the language.

"One of the issues we've had before is that we didn't have an explicit error code for deprecated functionality and may have been difficult for people on an error-code level to determine what functionality may eventually be removed," Alshanetsky said.

"By creating a dedicated error code for this, it would make it easy through the use of PHP's error-logging facility to identify which aspects of your code base are using functionality that may eventually be removed, so that they can make the appropriate adjustments."

The ability to mark features as being up for removal in a future version of PHP is coming as core PHP development continues on PHP 6, the next evolution of the PHP language. The PHP 5.x series has been available since 2004.

"The general consensus of the PHP's development team is many things currently marked as E_DEPRECATED will be removed in PHP 6, so making things that are about to go away very apparent is very important," Alshanetsky said.
