status of pl/php

It looks like pl/php is still on a "beta" release.  Is the previous
non-beta release preferred, or the beta1 tested against 8.3beta1?

Better question for the pl/php list. Copying Alexey because he would
know better.

It is still considered "beta", but I think it's reasonably stable.  Some
things need to be reworked, such as handling of arrays.  Otherwise it
should work.

Most of the problems with it seem to come from having to compile PHP
than PL/php specific.

PL/php project is stalled at the moment because PHP project
consistently fails to provide a proper SAPI library except for the one
that comes with Apache. Unless you absolutely have to use PHP look at
PL/perl or PL/python. Answering your question - 1.3.5-beta1 is the
most recent release, anything older is probably unusable or doesn't
work with 8.3
