Bug #71624 [NEW]: `php -R` (PHP_MODE_PROCESS_STDIN) is broken

From: dana at dana dot is Operating system: PHP version: 7.0.3 Package: CGI/CLI related Bug Type: Bug Bug description:php -R (PHP_MODE_PROCESS_STDIN) is broken Description: ------------ It looks like between 5.6 and 7.0 somebody broke the CLI utility's -R option. Specifically: * $argi is always 0 * $argn always has the last character cut off I've confirmed it works as expected in PHP 5.6.14 on OS X, whilst it's broken in 7.0.2 on OS X and master on Ubuntu. I'm not very good at C, so i don't have a patch, i'm sorry. Test script: --------------- % php -R 'echo "${argi}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' % php -R 'echo "${argn}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' Expected result: ---------------- % php --version | head -1 PHP 5.6.14 (cli) (built: Oct 3 2015 14:54:13) % php -R 'echo "${argi}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' 1 2 % php -R 'echo "${argn}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' foo bar Actual result: -------------- % php --version | head -1 PHP 7.0.2 (cli) (built: Jan 7 2016 10:40:26) ( NTS ) proserpina:php % php -R 'echo "${argi}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' 0 0 proserpina:php % php -R 'echo "${argn}\n";' <<< $'foo\nbar' fo ba -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=71624&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=71624&r=mysqlcfg
