Migrating from PHP 5.5.x to PHP 5.6.x

Indice dei contenuti

Most improvements in PHP 5.6.x have no impact on existing code. There are a few incompatibilities and new features that should be considered, and code should be tested before switching PHP versions in production environments.

Plese notice that default POST data parsing has changed.
php 5.5 with "foo=bar&baz" received
[
  "foo" => "bar"
]
and php 5.6 with same input receives:
[
  "foo" => "bar",
  "baz" => ""
]

Tested via curl --data 'foo=bar&baz' http://localhost

It can create a problem when earlier json came without correct content-type header.
e.g. {"foo":"bar"} in php 5.5 $_POST was
[
]
and in php 5.6 will be
[
  "{\"foo\":\"\bar\"}" => ""
]

Tested via curl --data '{"foo":"bar"}' http://localhost
