ID: 45994 Updated by: lbarnaud@php.net Reported By: ipseno at yahoo dot com -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating System: Windows XP SP3 PHP Version: 5.3.0alpha2 New Comment: Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows (zip): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.3-win32-latest.zip For Windows (installer): http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.3-win32-installer-latest.msi Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 20:46:41] jani@php.net As mentioned on the internals list, this should cause a syntax error. Much like in PHP code this would not work: <?php $foo = "bar\"; ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 16:22:54] johannes@php.net We're talking about ini files here, we always had different rules in ini files than regular code! Not sure if this is caused by Jani's improvements in the parsing or by some re2c work, but it should certainly work as before else many Windows users will have this issue! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 14:46:00] ipseno at yahoo dot com Wait, wait... Now I know, why did I posted this question... Now I reverted PHP to version 5.2.6 And there is NO problems with: upload_tmp_dir = "E:\" BUT, when i copy that php.ini file to PHP 5.3 alpha2 THEN upload_tmp_dir = "E:\" causes behavior as explained above. That is a reason why did I cretaed this "bug" report In 5.2.6 "\" doesn't escape, but in 5.3 alpha2 it does! How come?! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 14:20:26] ipseno at yahoo dot com Actually... "\" at the END of ANY directive in php.ini breaks configuration under WinXP Ie: error_log = "E:\php-5.3.0alpha2\error.log\" variables_order = "GPCS\" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2008-09-04 13:54:00] ipseno at yahoo dot com Description: ------------ upload_tmp_dir directive in php.ini, DISABLES ALL non-built-in php extensions To recreate this: In php.ini set: upload_tmp_dir = "E:\" create .php file <?php phpinfo(); ?> Under windows xp sp3 Apache/2.2.9b, parse it by php-cgi.exe Now skip to upload_tmp_dir section, of generated page and look at a HUGE part of php.ini copied in that filed! That is..., everything from line upload_tmp_dir = "E:\", till the end of php.ini Commenting it out in php.ini. ;upload_tmp_dir = "E:\" OR shifting slash!!! upload_tmp_dir = "E:/" ...fixes it and enables all extensions again! Actual result: -------------- This is VERY POSSIBLE SOLUTION to: Bug #13290 extension_dir directive is not working ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=45994&edit=1
