Some of the key improvements of PHP 5.1 include:

- PDO (PHP Data Objects) - A new native database abstraction layer providing performance, ease-of-use, and flexibility.
- Significantly improved language performance mainly due to the new Zend Engine II execution architecture.
- The PCRE extension has been updated to PCRE 5.0.
- Many more improvements including lots of new functionality & many bug fixes, especially in regards to SOAP, streams and SPL.
- See the bundled NEWS file for a more complete list of changes.

Everyone is encouraged to start playing with this beta, although it is not yet recommended for mission-critical production use. read more on ...php.net
