#39361 [Com]: mbstring function overloading - done although not activated

ID: 39361 Comment by: seanius at debian dot org Reported By: christoph at ziegenberg dot de Status: Assigned Bug Type: mbstring related Operating System: Win XP SP 2 PHP Version: 5.2.0 Assigned To: iliaa New Comment: hi, we've had a report about this in the debian bug tracking system: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=399924 and possibly http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=401525 the bug report says that it's been fixed in CVS, but then there's a rather ambiguous "still need to look into this" message afterwards and the bug is still in state: assigned. as debian will be freezing really, really soon if there's a fix for this i'd really like to see it so i can backport it to the 5.2.0 packages that are going to ship with the next stable release. thanks!

I tested several other ini settings, but the error seems to occur only with the mbstring function overloading. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-11-03 17:28:47] christoph at ziegenberg dot de Oh... I got the reason for it... really bad bug, might be critical and influence other ini setting to: 1) run the script - it works. you get the error message for mb_strstr() only: Warning: mb_strstr() [function.mb-strstr]: Empty haystack in W:\www\strstr\strstr.php on line 4 2) run a script in another directory with mbstring function overloading activate* - the result is as expected: Warning: mb_strstr() [function.mb-strstr]: Empty haystack in W:\www\strstr\strstr.php on line 3 Warning: mb_strstr() [function.mb-strstr]: Empty haystack in W:\www\strstr\strstr.php on line 4 3) now run the first script (NOT in the created directory!) and you get the same error messages! Warning: mb_strstr() [function.mb-strstr]: Empty haystack in W:\www\strstr\strstr.php on line 3 Warning: mb_strstr() [function.mb-strstr]: Empty haystack in W:\www\strstr\strstr.php on line 4 So the overloading setting is activated for the wrong directory! * via .htaccess: php_value mbstring.func_overload 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
