Bug #17669 Updated: magic_quotes_runtime enables at random

ID: 17669 Updated by: sniper@php.net Reported By: phpbugs_p@ter.dk -Status: Open +Status: Feedback -Bug Type: PHP options/info functions +Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Linux + FreeBSD PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: I tested this by running a script with 'set_magic_quotes_runtime(1);' once. Then I changed that to 'echo get_magic_quotes_runtime();' and it shows that as long as that apache child which were used to run the set script was alive, the setting also stayed 'On'.. So the question is: Is there some vhost which has this setting set in it's definition (httpd.conf) or is there some .htaccess file with it? Or is there any script which is run sometimes that has 'set_magic_quotes_runtime()' ? --Jani Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-09 19:24:09] phpbugs_p@ter.dk This bug may be related to #10197 and #10290. I have a PHP-solution hosted at my ISP. At random - about once per 50 requests - magic_quotes_runtime is enabled and affects e.g. strings returned from socket functions. I have created a simple webpage at: http://trc.dk/magic.php http://trc.dk/magic.phps (source) Reload it a bunch of times and notice that magic_quotes_runtime truely has been enabled. This webpage don't show it, but it in fact does affect strings; it's not just an erroneous output of the magic_quotes_runtime-setting. A helpful shellcommand would be: watch -n 1 "curl http://trc.dk/magic.php 2>/dev/null" ... and break the script when Magic quotes (runtime) indeed shows "1". Please notice that my ISP is using a cluster-based solution; the internal webserver-names is reflected on above webpage. It actually gives us more test-material, since the problem isn't just one wrong configured webserver out of a dozen, but the setting appears and disappears on several of the webservers (maybe all). Some of these webservers run Linux; others run FreeBSD. Both seem to be affected. I have been in contact with the technical department at my ISP, and they are just as puzzled as I am. There shouldn't be any change in the configuration for the different webservers. In all cases PHP is enabled as mod_php for Apache. A phpinfo() is available at: http://trc.dk/info.php (although a couple of reloads might be required to get information from the right webserver) - Peter Brodersen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=17669&edit=1
