#47410 [NEW]: array_combine crashing code when in the background

From: helenadeus at gmail dot com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 5.2CVS-2009-02-16 (snap) PHP Bug Type: Arrays related Bug description: array_combine crashing code when in the background Description: ------------ I'm running a script which tries to run something else in the background, like such: This code is inside a script called waiting.php <?php popen("php -f stall.php > tmp &','r'); ?> and stall.php is: <?php $V=array_combine(array('a','b','c'),array(1,2,3)); foreach ($V as $k=>$v) { echo $V[$k].chr(10); } ?> It works fine... until I use the function "array_combine" in the script stall.php For some reason, even though this function works fine both in the console and through apache, it crashes my code whenever I try to run it in the background. Any thoughts on why this happens? Reproduce code: --------------- This code is inside a script called waiting.php <?php popen("php -f stall.php > tmp &','r'); ?> and stall.php is: <?php $V=array_combine(array('a','b','c'),array(1,2,3)); foreach ($V as $k=>$v) { echo $V[$k].chr(10); } ?> Expected result: ---------------- tmp: 1 2 3 Actual result: -------------- tmp is empty -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=47410&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=trysnapshot52 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=trysnapshot53 Try a CVS snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=fixedcvs Fixed in CVS and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=47410&r=mysqlcfg
