I upgraded to 4.3.0 on my production linux servers and began to have serious socket connection issues. Rolling back to 4.2.3 cleared everything up. I also saw an increase in script execution times with 4.3.0, which became much better using 4.2.3. I noticed some very strange behavior which leads me to believe 4.3.0 is not stable, and shouldn't be used in a production environment.
So, all I can suggest for now is to determine what it is you need, and if a newer version of PHP will suit, go for it. But stay away from 4.3.0 and 4.3.1 (which I've read up on and hasn't addressed any of these issues).

I upgraded my development system from PHP 4.1.2 to PHP 4.3.0 last week and the performance of my scripts took a dive. Specifically, the average time to parse my scripts (time from executing first line of code to executing first line after includes) went from about 100ms to about 200ms, and, very oddly, my times to connect to an Oracle database also went up by about the same margin.
Switching back to 4.1.2 clears the problem back up.
What changed between 4.1.2 and 4.3.0 that could cause this? File IO stuff perhaps? Any ideas to solve it?
Thanks, Rhett Livingston
I'm running WinXP Pro, IIS, PHP as a CGI, and Oracle 9.2.
