automatically inherited.

cause the resulting array to contain the associative indices only,

MYSQL_NUM will cause the array to contain the numeric indices only (like

mysql_fetch_row()) and MYSQL_BOTH would cause them both to be defined

(default).

- Backport the Zend debugging memory manager into the PHP 3.0.x tree.

- Add function_exists() function.

- Add another version of WDDX module

(we need to pick a single implementation here)

it wasn't correctly skipping past these

indicates whether the script terminated due to a user abort, a timeout

or normally. Note that if ignore_user_abort is enabled, then both the

timeout state and the user abort state can be active

- Add connection_timeout() function. This one can be called in a shutdown

function to tell you if you got there because of a timeout

- Add ignore_user_abort() function and .ini/.conf directive of same name

- Fix connection abort detection code - It should now work reliably with

Apache. Also added a user-level connection_aborted() function designed to

let people check whether the user aborted the connection in a user-level

shutdown function.

output is considerably cleaner <mka@satama.com>
