#43598 [NEW]: Patch for Bug #41561 breaks ini_set()

From: birne at 007mail dot de Operating system: irrelevant PHP version: 5.2.5 PHP Bug Type: Unknown/Other Function Bug description: Patch for Bug #41561 breaks ini_set() Description: ------------ The Author of Bug #41561 wrote: <quote> When I set a value inside the httpd.conf with php_admin_value or php_admin_flag that is INI_ALL or INI_PERDIR it can be overwritten at runtime using ini_set() I don't think this should be possible. But the documentation on this problem doesn't assure me if this is a bug or a feature! </quote> Unfortunately, his question was neither discussed nor answered. Also I disagree that is should not be possible re-setting the value of a INI_ALL configuration directive with ini_set(). According to http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.php PHP_INI_ALL means "Entry can be set anywhere". In my opinion this mutually includes "Entry can be changed anywhere". Currently setting e.g. the include_path using ini_set('include_path', ..) or set_include_path(..) will fail when there is a php_admin_value include_path directive in the apache configuration. The include_path is a PHP_INI_ALL directive. Reproduce code: --------------- Set in apaches https.conf php_admin_value include_path .:/usr/share/php:/server/wide/libs/ and the run if (!set_include_path(get_include_path().PATH_SEPARATOR.'local/libs/')) { echo 'set_include_path() failed'; } else { echo get_include_path(); } Expected result: ---------------- .:/usr/share/php:/server/wide/libs/:local/libs/ Actual result: -------------- set_include_path() failed -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=43598&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 4.4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=trysnapshot44 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=43598&r=mysqlcfg
