#15982 [Com]: PHP Freeze with swffont() call

ID: 15982 Comment by: mabuzzer@hotmail.com Reported By: tonalgeek@hotmail.com Status: Open Bug Type: Ming related Operating System: Win XP Prof PHP Version: 4.2.1 New Comment: I've managed to eliminate the web server from the equation - ran the test script from the command line, and got the same result. The script hung until it reached the timeout limit, and consumed 97% of the CPU time while it was hung. It also seemed to keep consuming more and more memory, as if it was stuck in some kind of infinite loop? This was using PHP 4.2.2, Ming 0.2a which I downloaded from php.net. This is quite important for me, cos I have a couple of applications which I haven't been able to upgrade beyond PHP 4.0.4 (with Ming 0.9a) for one reason or another, and there are security issues involved in that. Thanks Richy Black Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-12 20:58:48] tonalgeek@hotmail.com This bug also exists in 4.2.1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-07-12 12:13:27] yann.lossouarn@tak.net I'm currently using the "EasyPHP 1.6" distrib, which includes Apache 1.3.20 and PHP 4.2.0, used on a NT4 station, and encountered the same problem. Any solution known ? Cheers, Yann ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-06-04 04:29:13] mfischer@php.net Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP. Unfortunately your version of PHP is too old -- the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open". Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-04-04 03:50:14] oevloev@scadasoft.ru I had the same bug on Win2000+php.4.1.2. When called SWFFont function with same normal (worked on previous version ) *.fdb file, php module crashes and sometime crash the web server (Apache). It is very important to have the text in generated Flash movies, but it does not work in Ming 0.2 version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-10 07:56:16] tonalgeek@hotmail.com When SWFFont() is called with a fdb file (not with internal fonts like '_sans') PHP appears to do nothing until the time limit for scripts is reached. Here is a reproductible example: <?php x=new SWFMovie(); y=new SWFFont("_sans"); // <---- does not freeze here z=new SWFFont("foo.fdb"); // <--- PHP does not execute at and below this point ?> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=15982&edit=1
