   8 It's been a long time since I wrote something here, mostly because I got
   9 distracted by some real private life recently ;) and due to paid work of
  10 course. Therefore I thought I'd round up what has happened behind the scenes
  11 in my PHP world.
  12
  13 ## PHP-6
  14 I rewrote the output control layer for PHP-6 some months ago and I'm about to
  15 upgrade ext/zlib to see how it really works out.
  16
  17 ## PHP-5.2
  18 I didn't contribute that much to this upcoming release. Two things I'd like to
  19 mention are a fix for the Apache2 SAPI where each header("Content-Type:
  20 aaa/bbb") caused Apache to add output filters for the type to the outgoing
  21 filter chain and the addition of the error_get_last() function, which is a
  22 convenient accessor to the last occured error without fiddling around with
  23 INI(track_errors) and $php_errormsg.

  26 ## pecl/http
  27 There's official [documentation](http://php.net/http) now available online in
  28 the PHP manual, yay! :) It's not fully fleshed out, but gives some feeling
  29 about the provided functionality and hints on how to use this module.
  30
  31 [php|a](http://www.phparch.com/) published an article by me about pecl/http in
  32 their Augusts issue!
  33
  34 There have also been three releases since 1.0, the most recent one (1.2)
  35 today. See the changes since then outlined below.
