Bug #69452 [Opn->Fbk]: STDERR constant is undefined

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=69452&edit=1 ID: 69452 Updated by: cmb@php.net Reported by: padraic@php.net Summary: STDERR constant is undefined -Status: Open +Status: Feedback Type: Bug Package: CGI/CLI related Operating System: Ubuntu 14.10 32 PHP Version: master-Git-2015-04-14 (Git) -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cmb Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: The issue is most likely not related to PHP 7, but rather to the fact that Xdebug is not available for the PHP 7 Travis tests, and only in this case line 23 of bootstrap.php is executed. I'm getting the same notice on versions before PHP 7 if Xdebug is not available. Can you please confirm, Pádraic. Further information: STDERR (as well as STDIN and STDOUT) is generally not defined when using Symfony's PhpProcess class, at least not on Windows (if Process::$enhanceWindowsCompatibility == true, what is the default) and on Cygwin, as the following snippet confirms: $process = new Symfony\Component\Process\PhpProcess( '<?php echo STDERR; ?>' ); $process->run(); echo $process->getOutput(); Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-18 15:07:57] padraic@php.net Using this compiled version from master, the simpler method described earlier does indeed pass however and report a resource. It appears to be something specific to the running of the tests that only occurs under PHP7. The syntax of the file using the STDERR being reported as undefined appears sound - and sparks no notice when isolated from the rest of the source code. Checking for the SAPI name, confirms it's definitely cli when the tests include that file and the notice is triggered. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-18 14:43:09] padraic@php.net https://travis-ci.org/padraic/humbug/jobs/58950141 This is running under Travis where the PHP version is described as: PHP 7.0.0-dev (cli) (built: Apr 16 2015 23:58:03). Same notice as previously reported. The STDERR appears undefined. The same tests under PHP5 pass without any issue. So I cloned php-src and compiled a copy. Same resulting notice using the CLI sapi (after make; no make install).

The example links to a Travis build showing Humbug's tests passing under PHP5 and the failure with this notice under PHP7 which I though would be helpful. Apologies if I misunderstood, but it just looks like you closed this report without enough consideration. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2015-04-15 09:47:19] laruence@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
