It could be due to something totally different. Also be sure to use 5.3.8 or snaps. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-09-20 07:58:33] webmaster at bluesting dot co dot za I have had very similar issues! At first I never noticed mb_ereg issues or crashes, until I started running some apache benchmarks on unrelated code to simulate server load, and noticed strange crashes. I eventually isolated the crashes to mb_ereg related code. To benchmark code with Apache Benchmark, I was using the "ab" command under apache/bin directory like this: ab -t 30 -c 10 http://localhost/ With some mb_ereg code running in the very beginning (doing url detection). The actual code is actually not important because I get crashes with every combination I try! I think using Apache Benchmark is better than running this code in a loop because it will create 10 simultaneous connections simulating higher load instead of just the one connection. When I convert my code to use preg_match_all() ... I have NO issues! Only mb_ereg related functions causing crashes! I tried mb_ereg() and mb_ereg_search_init() + mb_ereg_search_regs() with the same unpredictable crashes! Try the code above with Apache Benchmark and the commands I gave above, you should definately be able to simulate this issue! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-08-12 00:19:52] kalle@php.net Have you tried on 5.3? I cannot reproduce it trunk and Vista x86 with memory_limit=128MB and configure --enable-mbstring --enable-mbregex (no backtrack stack) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-01-02 17:04:34] r dot badding at gmail dot com Still getting the same crash with the snapshot php-5.2-win32-VC6-x86- latest. I made sure I had the correct extension dir in php.ini and no other php5ts.dll were found than the one in the snapshot. I think I haven't screwed up anything, but of course there's always that possibility. Don't think so though. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-30 14:43:24] jani@php.net Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ Try the snap. Maybe it was fixed as I can't reproduce this. And when you reply, use the "Edit submission" tab! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2009-12-30 13:42:16] r dot badding at gmail dot com So, nobody can reproduce? The testcase is simple at least... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
