<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
Starting with PHP 5, the object model was rewritten to allow for better
performance and more features. This was a major change from PHP 4. PHP 5
has a full object model.
</para>
<para>
Among the features in PHP 5 are the inclusions of
<link linkend="language.oop5.visibility">visibility</link>,
<link linkend="language.oop5.abstract">abstract</link> and
<link linkend="language.oop5.final">final</link> classes and methods,
additional <link linkend="language.oop5.magic">magic methods</link>,
<link linkend="language.oop5.interfaces">interfaces</link>,
<link linkend="language.oop5.cloning">cloning</link> and
<link linkend="language.oop5.typehinting">typehinting</link>.
</para>
<para>
PHP treats objects in the same way as references or handles, meaning that
each variable contains an object reference rather than a copy of the entire
object. See
<link linkend="language.oop5.references">Objects and References</link>
