Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51802&edit=1 ID: 51802 Updated by: felipe@php.net Reported by: relayadmin at disney dot com Summary: PHP temp files not deleted when also using a CGI script -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: CGI/CLI related Operating System: Windows Server 2003 PHP Version: 5.2.13 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Please try using this snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php5.3-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://windows.php.net/snapshots/ Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2010-05-12 21:07:14] relayadmin at disney dot com Description: ------------ This bug is very specific to Windows. When executing a generic file upload using PHP, if at anytime while the file is being uploaded Apache then runs a CGI script like PERL or a C program, and the upload ends while the CGI script is still running, the uploaded file(s) in the temp directory will remain behind forever. In order to avoid this the “php_do_open_temporary_file” routine will have to not use the “VCWD_OPEN_MODE” routine to open the temp file. A generic Windows “open” call allows child processes to inherit their handles. The temp file would need to be opened with a “CreateFile” call to open the file and specify the pSecurityAttributes option with bInheritHandle set to FALSE so that a child process will not inherit the open file handle. The rub is this call uses a non-compatible handle so everyone who uses this handle has to be modified as well. Test script: --------------- Write or use any simple PHP upload program. Next use CGI program below -- it doesn't need to do anything except take time. So start the PHP upload, then start the CGI program below from a webpage. Make sure the PHP upload completes before the script ends. #include <windows.h> void main(){ Sleep(2*60*1000); // sleep 2 minutes } Expected result: ---------------- The file should be uploaded and the temp file in the temp directory should not be present when done. It should be moved to the destination directory. Actual result: -------------- The temp file remains forever in the temp directory, though the file is copied correctly to the destination directory. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51802&edit=1
