#38975 [Com]: date() function causes php crash

ID: 38975 Comment by: makavy at avaya dot com Reported By: rachmel at avaya dot com Status: Feedback Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: WindRiver Linux PHP Version: 5.1.6 Assigned To: derick New Comment: It does not matter which timezone I use. any one of the files that 'zic' creates has this problem. What i did to set the time zone is create a symbolic link to one of the zoneinfo files: /etc/localtime -> /usr/share/zoneinfo/[Continent]/[city] I did not do anything in php.ini file, or issue a php command for that. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-11 10:02:56] derick@php.net I can not reproduce this at all. You didn't quite mention which timezone you are using, and did you set the timezone in php with the php.ini setting "date.timezone" or the function date_timezone_default_set()? Please provide more information. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-10 20:21:45] makavy at avaya dot com I'm adding information about this bug as I'm working with the BUG originator (Nir). - This occurs on a powerpc (ppc) processor - The zoneinfo files where created using zic. (Maybe zic has problems with ppc, or maybe it's big-little endian issues with the zineinfo files...????) The backtrace looks like this: (gdb) backtrace #0 0x0f88cb7c in memcpy () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x0f885eb0 in malloc () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x1008f1c0 in timelib_parse_tzfile () #3 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #4 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #5 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #6 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #7 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #8 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #9 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #10 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #11 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #12 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () #13 0x1006c714 in get_timezone_info () Previous frame inner to this frame (corrupt stack?) As you can see there is something wrong with gdb on ppc, we have a script that reconstructs the backtrace, and the output looks like this: (gdb) bt_script frame #: stack_frame_ptr backchain_ptr LR_save_word frame 0: 0xXXXXXXXX: 0xXXXXXXXX $1 = 0xf88cb7c <memcpy+324> frame 1: 0x7fffce10: 0x7fffce20 $2 = 0x18000000 frame 2: 0x7fffce20: 0x7fffce40 $3 = 0xf885eb0 <malloc+200> frame 3: 0x7fffce40: 0x7fffcea0 $4 = 0x1008f1c0 <timelib_parse_tzfile+472> frame 4: 0x7fffcea0: 0x7fffced0 $5 = 0x1006c714 <get_timezone_info+228> frame 5: 0x7fffced0: 0x7fffcf90 $6 = 0x1006c818 <php_format_date+128> frame 6: 0x7fffcf90: 0x7fffcfc0 $7 = 0x1006d9d4 <zif_date+128> frame 7: 0x7fffcfc0: 0x7fffd030 $8 = 0x102da424 <zend_do_fcall_common_helper_SPEC+3224> frame 8: 0x7fffd030: 0x7fffd120 $9 = 0x102d9660 <execute+484> frame 9: 0x7fffd120: 0x7fffd280 $10 = 0x102ae0b8 <zend_execute_scripts+392> frame 10: 0x7fffd280: 0x7ffff580 $11 = 0x10251a30 <php_execute_script+688> frame 11: 0x7ffff580: 0x7ffff9e0 $12 = 0x1035cdb4 <main+4276> frame 12: 0x7ffff9e0: 0x7ffffc00 $13 = 0xf82f940 <__libc_init_first+328> frame 13: 0x7ffffc00: 0x7ffffc10 $14 = 0xf82fa80 <__libc_start_main+196> Thanks, Erez ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-10-03 15:14:33] tony2001@php.net Thank you for this bug report.
