ID: 43179 User updated by: php at lorddeath dot net Reported By: php at lorddeath dot net Status: Open Bug Type: Reproducible crash Operating System: Windows / Linux PHP Version: 5.2.4 New Comment: Sorry; got the code wrong. This, however, segfaults as "expected": <? class MC { public $Vars = array(); public function Execute() { foreach ($this->Vars as $k => $v) { $$k = $v; } $MyArr['Var'] = $MyArr; $MC = new MC(); $MC->Vars = $MyArr; $MC->Execute(); } } $MyArr = array(); $MyArr['Var'] = $MyArr; $MC = new MC(); $MC->Vars = $MyArr; $MC->Execute(); echo "Hello world."; ?> Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-11-02 15:55:46] php at lorddeath dot net Description: ------------ When the code I've supplied is executed, PHP crashes, leaving a segfault message in Apache's log. The code looks a little perverse, though a variation on it had a real use in my situation, but regardless, PHP shouldn't segfault, no matter how perverse the code is :) Reproduce code: --------------- class MC { public $Vars = array(); public function Execute() { if (!defined('DONE')) { define('DONE', true); foreach ($this->Vars as $k => $v) { $$k = $v; } $MyArr['Var'] = $MyArr; $MC = new MC(); $MC->Vars = $MyArr; $MC->Execute(); } } } $MyArr = array(); $MyArr['Var'] = $MyArr; $MC = new MC(); $MC->Vars = $MyArr; $MC->Execute(); echo "Hello world."; Expected result: ---------------- "Hello world." should be printed. Actual result: -------------- Nothing is printed, and a segfault line is added to /var/log/apache2/error.log: [Fri Nov 02 15:50:11 2007] [notice] child pid 23282 exit signal Segmentation fault (11) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43179&edit=1
