Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68869&edit=1 ID: 68869 User updated by: own3mall at gmail dot com Reported by: own3mall at gmail dot com Summary: Require and Include Files with Variables Doesn't Update Global Value on Refresh Status: Open Type: Bug Package: Streams related Operating System: Ubuntu 14.04 PHP Version: 5.6.4 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: OK, well that's strange. That appears to work... But I wasn't even using opcache. It was commented out which I would assume means it was disabled? I guess not... Maybe the settings you sent me should be the defaults? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-21 05:09:18] rasmus@php.net Try uncommenting these entries and setting them like this: opcache.validate_timestamps=1 opcache.revalidate_freq=0 and restart apache, of course. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-21 04:55:35] own3mall at gmail dot com Which settings are you specifically interested in? My /etc/apache2/apache2.conf looks like this: http://pastebin.com/xWLweR55 My php.ini: http://pastebin.com/6ghRdN6P ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-21 04:20:12] requinix@php.net What are your opcache settings? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-01-21 03:49:46] own3mall at gmail dot com Description: ------------ Basically, if a redirect is sent such as header("Location: page.php"); to the client or the page is refreshed by the client, a variable being loaded through a require statement does not always update in the global scope. The global variable's value is set to the old value even though the file the variable is loaded from has changed. The old value remains until the page is refreshed again after a wait period. I was able to reproduce this issue on PHP 5.5.9 and PHP 5.6.4. Here's a video which explains and shows what is going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVLMdgnXfww&feature=youtu.be The source to the script shown in the video can be downloaded here: http://dinofly.com/files/linux/bugs/php5.5.x_refresh_bug.tar.gz I was not able to reproduce this issue on a php 5.3.x virtual machine running Ubuntu 12.04. Basically, I'm not sure when this bug was introduced, but I know it doesn't happen on older versions of php. Test script: --------------- http://dinofly.com/files/linux/bugs/php5.5.x_refresh_bug.tar.gz Expected result: ---------------- Global variable value should be updated on each page refresh or load to what is defined in the file that is required. Actual result: -------------- Global variable sometimes updates correctly when the page is refreshed but other times is not if refreshed quickly. It needs to be consistent. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=68869&edit=1
