#38342 [NEW]: mail() always returns FALSE with --enable-sigchild

From: geoffwa at cs dot rmit dot edu dot au Operating system: Solaris 10 PHP version: 5.2.0RC1 PHP Bug Type: Mail related Bug description: mail() always returns FALSE with --enable-sigchild Description: ------------ PHP's sigchild handler clobbers returns from the mail() function. This is similar to bug #8992/#28294. Compiling PHP without --enable-sigchild makes mail() work as expected. And as a side note, what is the point of the sigchild handler? Surely it's better to signal(SIGCHLD, SIG_IGN) if you don't care about the return status of your children? Is it still needed if you're compiling --with-oci8 for recent versions of the OCI libraries? -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38342&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=38342&r=mysqlcfg
