Note: The following list may contain some inaccuracies.

To the best of my knowledge, the following things are changing as of PHP6:

• FILE_BINARY and FILE_TEXT constants available for use with filesystem functions.
• register_globals will be gone.
• magic_quotes will also disappear.
• $HTTP_*_VARS has been removed, in favour for $_GET, $_POST, etc.
• ereg() no longer available in core PHP6.
• Initiating objects with the reference operator (& new Object()) will generate E_STRICT error.
• E_STRICT error messages are included in E_ALL errors.
• {} for string offsets no longer available.
• [] un-deprecated for accessing characters in a string.
