Bug #18012: Info provided by phpinfo() does not update upon re-compiles

From: h3+php@x-maru.org Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.2.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Info provided by phpinfo() does not update upon re-compiles Information provided by phpinfo() is not accurate when php is recompiled. An example: php is originally built against apache-1.3.24 with modules A, B, and C. Later, it is rebuilt against apache-1.3.26 with A, B, C, and D. phpinfo() continues to output information from the first build, ie the httpd in use is apache-1.3.24 and the ./configure line includes A, B, and C only. This info is corrected if the rebuild is from scratch (make clean, rm config.cache, etc). However, my expectation is this information should be accurate for every build, without having to do a completely clean build. This has been a bug for quite sometime, and is not specific to 4.2.1. I don't recall a version that didn't have this problem. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=18012&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=18012&r=globals
