Warning: It has been noted that this version contains a security issue. Please use PHP 5.2.8. See http://www.aprelium.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75785 for more details.

Dear all,

PHP 5.2.7 has just been released today and offers several bug fixes and minor enhancements: http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php .

We acted quickly and prepared the preconfigured PHP 5.2.7 package for Windows: http://www.aprelium.com/data/php527.exe .

Please give it a try and let us know if it works fine for you.

The installation instructions are similar to those in http://www.aprelium.com/abyssws/php5win.html with one major exception: Type must be set to Standard

READ THIS IF YOU ARE UPGRADING:

If you are upgrading from an old preconfigured PHP package do not forget to set Type to Standard in the interpreter declaration.

MacOS X version:

It takes more time to package and we do not expect to have it ready it before a few days.

Wow...Thanks for getting this out so quick! I'll perform the upgrade and let you know how it goes...

Are we able to go back to "PHP Style", or just leave well enough alone with what we had to do with 5.2.6?

(Anybody hear word on PHP6?)

"PHP Style" was activating a set of workarounds to have Abyss Web Server accept PHP divergences from the CGI standard.

Since PHP 5.2.4, strict CGI compliance has been enforced so there is no more need to use the "PHP Style" mode. PHP 5.2.4 and later are fully CGI compliant and can run with the CGI standard mode without any problem.

This distribution should be removed and replaced with the new 5.2.8. PHP 5.2.7 has a security flaw in it.

More info at http://www.php.net/

We'll update it. Meanwhile you can continue to use 5.2.7 but edit php.ini as they suggest:

alternatively you can apply a work-around for the bug by changing "filter.default_flags=0" in php.ini.

I placed a warning in the first post just to be safe because I doubt everyone will scroll all the way down to see this.
