Bug Type: Apache2 related
Operating System: custom linux
PHP Version: 4.0CVS-2002-05-08
New Comment:
3+ months later and this still happens with Apache 2.0.40 and PHP
snapshot php4-200208150600 !!! Seems that PHP developers view Apache2
as pre-alpha and they don't want to touch it with a 10-foot stick.

I'd like to post a workaround without patching apache or PHP....
Just edit your script(s) to send a 'header("Last-Modified: Mon, 26 Jul
1997 05:00:00 GMT");' or just some other date older than the mdate of
your script file. This solves the problem.
Reason:
The bug causes Apache2 to look for the mdate of the .php file to
determine if it has been modified.
If the browser first gets a header like above, it next time asks for
the page with an 'If-Modified-Since: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT'.
Then, the httpd looks at the mdate of your script, which is always
newer and says: Yes, it has been modified, "200 OK". The script will be
served and it will response again with the header line from above.
Round and round the story goes. :))
Greets, and have fun!
Daniel

Apache devs are still argueing whether this is a bug in Apache or in
PHP :)

however: it doesn't work for phpmyadmin ( still displaying old query
results ), BUT at least one of my regular scripts ( just some simple
task ) does indeed work: apache's returning the expected 200 OK
response.

still doesn't work with php4 and apache2 checkouts from July 10th.

Does this happen with latest CVS checkouts of both Apache2 and PHP?
