Fedora 21: PHP 5.6.14 Critical Bug Fixes - FEDORA-2015-366f3dd73f

fedora
Calendar Grey October 13, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Important update for Fedora 21's PHP module addresses multiple issues and enhances overall performance. Ensure your system remains protected.
01 Oct 2015, **PHP 5.6.14** **Core:** * Fixed bug php#70370 (Bundled libtool.m4 doesn't handle FreeBSD 10 when building extensions)

Summary

PHP is an HTML-embedded scripting language. PHP attempts to make it

easy for developers to write dynamically generated web pages. PHP also

offers built-in database integration for several commercial and

non-commercial database management systems, so writing a

database-enabled webpage with PHP is fairly simple. The most common

use of PHP coding is probably as a replacement for CGI scripts.

The php package contains the module (often referred to as mod_php)

which adds support for the PHP language to Apache HTTP Server.
