Bug #17747 Updated: PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare function_name()

ID: 17747 Updated by: lukemiller@mac.com Reported By: lukemiller@mac.com -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: RH 7.2 PHP Version: 4.1.2 New Comment: OK. I think I've fixed the problem. It seems like it was problem with pdflib. For those of you who are having a similar problem, one of the scripts that called pdflib was causing a fatal error which eventually caused a segmentation fault and other PHP script errors which caused all kinds of problems with the rest of the sites/scripts and eventually crashed the server. The script is fixed and everything is working fine. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-14 00:33:27] lukemiller@mac.com Here's what I've done. Installed php 4.1.2 with debug option enabled but I must have done something wrong because I got a message that no debug symbols were found when I entered the command #gdb /path/to/apache/bin/httpd. However, I figured out that when the pdflib module was NOT loaded (I have it loaded through extenstion=/path/to/ libpdf_php.so) that I wasn't getting the error. I disable debugging and it still worked fine (no errors) as long as pdflib was disabled. If this is a pdflib problem, sorry for the trouble. However, a couple of things, with my limited knowledge of PHPs engine, make me think that it might be a problem with PHP. 1) The error is related to defining php functions and 2) I get the error in scripts that aren't calling and pdflib functions. I have tried, briefly, reproducing the problem with 4.2.1 but I ran into a problem with my pdlib modules compile version. I will try that some more and let you know what I find. Thanks for your time. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-13 15:07:59] sniper@php.net Thank you for this bug report. To properly diagnose the problem, we need a backtrace to see what is happening behind the scenes. To find out how to generate a backtrace, please read http://bugs.php.net/bugs-generating-backtrace.php Once you have generated a backtrace, please submit it to this bug report and change the status back to "Open". Thank you for helping us make PHP better. Please try this with PHP 4.2.1. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-13 12:59:28] lukemiller@mac.com This is similar to <a href="http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id= 17720">this bug report</a>, but I'm using PHP 4.12. I have an include file called "func-inc.php" with a function declared like so... function dbq($str) { print($str); } ...and a main_file.php like so ... require_once("func-inc.php"); dbq("print this"); I have error reporting off on my server, so I don't get a message when running main_file.php, but intermittently (I'd say 10% of the time it does NOT work) the script will just hang and never return anything. When I check the Apache error_log file it shows the error "PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare dbq()" even though it's only been declared once in the include file. The next line always seems to be some variation of: "[notice] child pid 996 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)" My PHP config line is: './configure' '--with-mysql' '--with-gd' '--with-jpeg-dir' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.24' I've never had this problem running on Mac OS X (PHP 4.12) with the config line:  '/SourceCache/apache_mod_php/apache_mod_php-7/php/ configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '-- infodir=/usr/share/info' '--with-apxs' Hope there's an answer for this.
