Works fine in Belgium, where there's hundreds of cameras and we see a steady decrease in the number of casualties at those lights. But maybe that's because there are so many, people actually start slowing down well in advance and don't hit the brakes as soon as they see a camera...

True, but I can't find a 14" with a screen HD 1920x1200 or 1920x1080... my Dell Latitude D820 was perfect offering all the bells and whistles without the keypad, but the successor has a keypad :-(

Good advice, but impossible to do if you have a modern laptop, because even 15" laptops now have a keypad by default. It drives me crazy, because it means the keyboard is off-center and the glidepath is off-center.
Makes me wonder what idiot came up with the idea that 15" laptops needed a keypad ?

Actually it will already work on PHP 5.2/5.3 if it was compiled with --enable-zend-multibyte but that will depend on the hosting provider or the distribution being used.

So checking whether the host has this enabled (phpinfo() will tell you) is your best bet.
For 5.4 you still need to have it compiled with --enable-zend-multibyte but now you can disable it in php.ini

The fact that 5.4 doesn't introduce any backward incompatibilities should also increase the adoption rate significantly.

To fix your problem, set 'zend.multibyte = 1' in php.ini

The problem here might not be the open tag, but closing tag. If you use include(_once) or require(_once) and you used a closing tag in the file you're trying to include or require, you hve to be careful nothing follows that closing tag (like a newline...).
The best option is :
- Never to use a closing tag, since it's optional anyway
- To use a standard PHP IDE to write your code

Make sure you have PHP_CodeSniffer version 1.3, not 1.2, otherwise it won't work...

Keep in mind that it doesn't guarantee full compatibility with PHP 5.4, but it does all the automated checks it can do, so that's a huge timesaver.
Including it it Debian or any other distribution is certainly a good idea. But I recommend waiting a week or two... I just released it today, so there may be some minor bugs in there...

If you want to get your code compatible, a start is to scan it automatically : https://github.com/wimg/PHPCompatibility - just released for 5.4 as well :-)

Almost everything planned for PHP 6 is in 5.4, except for full unicode support, which was slowing down the entire language too much.

Using the PHPCompatibility Codesniffer rules will get you a long way : https://github.com/wimg/PHPCompatibility

You're absolutely right !

Great memories with this computer. And it was so far ahead of all competitors : even the predecessor of the Acorn BBC B (the Electron) already had 2Mhz and 32KB RAM and was networkable using a thing called Econet.
The BBC B+ could be expanded up to 128KByte and had a second processor (we're talking 1986 !!!!), teletext-reader, lightpen that allowed you to draw by using a pen on your screen (think tablet !) and so on.
And then Archimedes with its 32-bit RISC CPU came in 1987 (!), doing 4 MIPS and offering a Windowed operating system that booted from EEPROM instantly (switch it on and it's there).

Any mobile device with an ARM chip (think Android, tablets, Blackberry, etc.) is based on the architecture that was spawned in the 80s by Acorn (ARM = Acorn Risc Machine).
I'm glad and privileged to have worked with those great devices !

Are you joking or do you need some geography as well ?

Seems like that's another journalist who needs to take geography classes... first he talks about a company from Luxemburg, then he says it's located in Belgium... quite a difference !
