Jacques1 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 See the PHP site. There are quite a lot of security improvements: When you download a resource via HTTPS using file_get_contents(), PHP now actually checks the certificate. Before, certificate validation was turned off by default, which is of course a joke and left a lot of applications wide open to man-in-the-middle attacks. The Mcrypt extension no longer accepts incorrect keys or missing initialization vectors. The function hash_equals() allows you to compare secret strings without leaking their content through time differences.

KevinM1 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Can Constant scalar expressions improve the codings in any way? They turn up the graphics on level 6.

You could argue readability in some places, but eh, it's just syntactic sugar.
