1.4 OTHER NEW FEATURES IN PHP 5
This section discusses new features introduced in PHP 5.
1.4.1 New Memory Manager
The Zend Engine features a new memory manager. The two main advantages
are better support for multi-threaded environments (allocations do not need to
perform any mutual exclusion locks), and after each request, freeing the allo-cated memory blocks is more efficient. Because this is an underlying infra-structure change, you will not notice it directly as the end user.
1.4.2 Dropped Support for Windows 95
Running PHP on the Windows 95 platform is not supported anymore due to
Windows 95 does not support the functionality that PHP uses. Because
Microsoft officially stopped supporting it in 2002, the PHP development com-munity decided that dropping the support was a wise decision.
