PHP is one of the most popular server-side scripting languages used on the Web. It was created in 1995 by Rasmus Lerdorf, originally as a small set of Perl scripts he referred to as “Personal Home Page Tools”. By the time PHP 3 came along, it had many of the features that we use in PHP every day. In PHP 5 saw the introduction of better support for object-oriented programming (even though there was quite complete object-oriented support in PHP 4 – although in PHP 5 came the introduction of being able to change the visibility of methods and class variables. In PHP 5 also saw the introduction of the object-oriented lightweight and easy-to-use PHP Data Objects – an object-oriented interface for connecting to and performing database-related functions – was also introduced. PHP Data Objects is a good alternative to using standard procedural functions for connecting to databases, performing queries and fetching results.

PHP是Web上最流行的服务器端脚本语言之一。 它是由Rasmus Lerdorf于1995年创建的，最初是一小批Perl脚本，他称之为“个人主页工具”。 到PHP 3出现时，它已经具有我们每天在PHP中使用的许多功能。 在PHP 5中，引入了对面向对象编程的更好的支持(尽管PHP 4中提供了相当完整的面向对象的支持-尽管在PHP 5中引入了能够更改方法和类变量的可见性的引入。 PHP 5还介绍了面向对象的轻量级且易于使用PHP Data Objects(用于连接并执行与数据库相关的功能的面向对象的接口)的介绍。用于连接数据库，执行查询和获取结果的标准程序功能。

There has been many controversial features in PHP that has later been deprecated and removed. One of which primarily being Magic Quotes which enabled the automatic backslashes of certain characters which assisted users in escaping input in a SQL query to prevent SQL injections occurring. However, this was widely criticised for helping inexperienced developers write insecure code because they do not otherwise need to manually sanitise input prior to input being part of an SQL query for execution. In PHP 5.4, Magic Quotes was completely removed.

PHP中有许多有争议的功能，后来不推荐使用并删除它们。 其中之一主要是Magic Quotes ，它启用了某些字符的自动反斜杠，以帮助用户转义SQL查询中的输入以防止发生SQL注入。 但是，这种方法因帮助没有经验的开发人员编写不安全的代码而受到广泛批评，因为他们不需要在输入成为执行SQL查询的一部分之前手动清理输入。 在PHP 5.4中，魔术引号已完全删除。

• From PHP 5.4 onwards, you can now access methods and class variables directly after instantiation of the class. Such as (new Class)->method().
  从PHP 5.4起，您现在可以在实例化类后直接访问方法和类变量。 如(new Class)-> method()。
• Short array syntax. For example: $array = [“Blog”,”Forums”,”Knowledgebase”] and $array = [“name_1” => “Blog, “name_2” => “Forums”, “name_3” => “Knowledgebase”].
  短数组语法。 例如：$ array = [“ Blog”，“ Forums”，“ Knowledgebase”]和$ array = [“ name_1” =>“ Blog，” name_2“ =>” Forums“，” name_3“ =>” Knowledgebase“] 。

• The $this reserved variable can now be used in anonymous functions (also referred to as closures).

  $ this保留变量现在可以在匿名函数(也称为闭包 )中使用。
