use.
Some of the key features of PHP 5 include:

focused around the excellent libxml2 library
(http://www.xmlsoft.org/).

This new extension includes an object-oriented interface in addition to
a traditional interface; as well as support for many of MySQL's new features,
such as prepared statements.

SQLite has been bundled with PHP. For more information on SQLite,
please visit their website.
-
A brand new built-in SOAP extension for interoperability with Web Services.
