#41857 [Opn->Bgs]: proc_close() sometimes returns 0 but most times returns -1

ID: 41857 Updated by: iliaa@php.net Reported By: charpour at gnet dot gr -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: Program Execution Operating System: Debian 4.0 etch/Slackware 10.2.0 PHP Version: 5.2.3 New Comment: Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php The --enable-sigchild is what's responsible for this option, having a sigchild handler in places prevents PHP from being able to properly detect status of a forked command. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-02 08:00:30] tony2001@php.net Jani, I've no idea what is --enable-sighild for and why it might be needed at all. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-07-01 13:37:28] sniper@php.net According to Thies' commit comment about the --enable-sigchild option it is needed when using oracle libs >= 8.1 (see: cvs log -r1.132 configure.in) Does it still count? And if it does, is this option just for the oracle stuff? If it is, why not move it into ext/oci8/config.m4 ? (and perhaps ext/pdo_oci/config.m4 needs it too..) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-30 11:49:00] judas dot iscariote at gmail dot com If you remove --enable-sigchild it will work. do not use that, is not needed anymore for nothing. ( IIRC was needed for old oracle extension that is no longer in use) I only wonder why it has not been removed yet.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-30 00:21:09] thespacefrog at hotmail dot com I have the same problem with proc_close and I need the sigchild option to have the script run as a daemon. Is there any chance to fix this?:/ Thanks ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-06-29 21:37:18] charpour at gnet dot gr Without these options in the configure command works fine (returns always 0) : --enable-sigchild --enable-pcntl --enable-shmop --enable-sysvsem ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
