Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62509&edit=1 ID: 62509 Updated by: laruence@php.net Reported by: streaky at mkybrokenlogic dot com Summary: chroot() is disabled with ZTS enabled Status: Not a bug Type: Feature/Change Request Package: Directory function related Operating System: Anything but windows? PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: maybe we can always return false in ZTS build, and trigger a warning. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-08 21:02:35] johannes@php.net You shouldn't use ZTS binaries in non-threaded context. They need more memory, they are slower, they are harder to debug in case of critical errors. That aside: We have no good mechanism to disable it easily in one context only. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2012-07-08 17:00:46] streaky at mkybrokenlogic dot com Description: ------------ chroot() seems to be arbitrarily disabled with ZTS enabled. It seems like it is disabled because when ZTS is -usually- used it is with a sapi that requires thread safety but this isn't always the case. AFAIK there isn't a good reason for it, I assume it's some sort of oversight - a cheap and cheerful way to achieve the above, but it doesn't account for all circumstances so you have to go hacking on the source code in about 3 different places. It probably should be as is *except* for if CLI and possibly CGI is the SAPI. Test script: --------------- <?php var_dump(chroot("/chroot/me/here/")); Expected result: ---------------- bool(true) Actual result: -------------- Fatal error: Call to undefined function chroot() ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62509&edit=1
