PHP 5.4.17 released!_PHP Tutorial

PHP 5.4.17 released. 2013-07-04 After 1 RC, the last version was 5.4.16 on 2013-06-07. About 20 bugs and several security holes were fixed. Although the official version 5.5.0 has been released. But 5.4 has not stopped updating. 5.3 has not been updated to 5.3.27 simultaneously. I believe many people have not dared to upgrade to 5.5.0 in the production environment.

Completely improved:
