#38493 [Opn->Csd]: xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) crashes php

ID: 38493 User updated by: giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Reported By: giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it -Status: Open +Status: Closed Bug Type: XMLRPC-EPI related Operating System: windows 2000 PHP Version: 4.4.4 New Comment: DOH, I was offline this week while doing some testing of the xmlrpc extension. Just peeked into CVS and found out that the bug has already been fixed by Antony - but without an entry in the 444/514 changelog... Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-08-18 10:02:43] giunta dot gaetano at sea-aeroportimilano dot it Description: ------------ xmlrpc_encode_request(666, array()) brings apache and php down in flames. I know that a user would better not use this, but instead xmlrpc_encode_request('666', array()), but - the xmlrpc spec allows method names to be made of numbers only - php is weakly typed - a php error msg would be better than a php crash anyway BTW: the bug is on line 674 of xmlrpc-epi.php.c (as of 4.4.3), where the zval string value is used without proper checking for its type first. Afaict a cast to string before using the value would fix it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=38493&edit=1
