Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-26 11:32:44] daniel dot haas at cn-consult dot eu We also hit this bug, because we have a custom php-based installer that uses __halt_compiler() and __COMPILER_HALT_OFFSET__ to extract a tar.gz portion of the installer. Since PHP 5.3 our installers do not work anymore! :-( Is a fix not even planned at this stage?? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-09 20:02:00] jani@php.net Nevermind, of course it's still borked since the check is NOT done in scanner. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-09-09 19:56:40] jani@php.net Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ Since the shebang check was removed from scanner, isn't this issue solved then? (please try :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-30 22:56:02] adam-phpbugs at adam dot gs Understandably this might be a bit hackish to have use a global variable here, but perhaps thats preferable to what i'd consider a major regression? I attempted to patch this so I could just submit a patch here, but unfortunately my c-fu and my understanding of PHP internals is lacking. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-08-03 03:06:47] scottmac@php.net The sapi/cli/php_cli.c code will read forward when it see's a shebang to the next line. The file is already seeked by the time the scanner gets a change to look at it. The zend_get_scanned_file_offset() doesn't know about this because by the time the scanner is started the bytes are already long gone. Short of a global variable I'm not seeing a clean way to fix this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
