#42928 [Com]: PHP crashes silently when CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS is set

ID: 42928 Comment by: webmaster at intobikes dot co dot uk Reported By: telsbern at uga dot edu Status: No Feedback Bug Type: cURL related Operating System: Windows 2003 server sp2 PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: I have exactly the same problem on a server running Centos 5 with WHM/cPanel-11. It's a brand new machine and is being readied for service with the latest stable versions of everything it needs. PHP is version 5.2.4 All error warnings are on, even notice and strict ones. CURL works fine with the "curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, someIntegerHere);" line removed, but otherwise fails silently. And you know how long they take to find!

A backtrace would be super-useful in this case. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 14:19:31] telsbern at uga dot edu Those options were both already what you suggested. I just verified them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 13:26:54] jani@php.net Try making the errors show up by setting error_reporting = E_ALL and display_errors = On.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-10-11 13:07:49] telsbern at uga dot edu Description: ------------ On 2 different windows servers I have, php just crashes silently if I try to set any value at all for CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS. If I have the line: curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, someIntegerHere); PHP just dies when it gets to that line. If I comment it out, the script works fine. It looks like php_curl.dll hasn't been changed in a while so I'm stumped. It works just fine on my redhat box. Reproduce code: --------------- <?php print("Hi!\n"); $ch = curl_init("http://www.example.com/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, 5); print("Running curl_exec()...\n"); curl_exec($ch); print("Done!\n"); $daErr = curl_error($ch); print_r($daErr); curl_close($ch); ?> Expected result: ---------------- Hi!
