fedora
Calendar Grey May 18, 2020
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Examine the Fedora 32 PHP upgrade FEDORA-2020-3ea2253402, which tackles various issues and boosts efficiency through targeted memory leak corrections.
**PHP version 7.4.6** (14 May 2020) **Core:** * Fixed bug php#78434 (Generator yields no items after valid() call)

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.
