#3487 [Opn->]: get_browser() segfaults

ID: 3487 Updated by: hholzgra@php.net Reported By: eric@emergencypuffjacket.com -Status: Open +Status: Won\'t fix Bug Type: Reproducible Crash Operating System: BSD/OS 3.1 PHP Version: 3.0.12 New Comment: We are sorry, but can not support PHP 3 related problems anymore. Momentum is gathering for PHP 5, and we think supporting PHP 3 will lead to a waste of resources which we want to put into getting PHP 5 ready. Ofcourse PHP 4 will will continue to be supported for the forseeable future. actualy believed to be fixed even for php3 Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2000-02-15 18:11:17] eric@emergencypuffjacket.com I am using mod_php3-3.0.12-module-mysql-imap-gd.so with Apache 1.2.6 If I call get_browser() I get a segfault error logged to the apache error log. I do not actually get a core file, and if I turn on php-logging I get nothing there as well. I am setting my php config vars via the apache httpd.conf file like this: php3_browscap /usr/local/etc/httpd/browscap.ini and I am using the latest file from cyscape. One interesting note: if I comment out the browscap config variable get_browser() returns an empty array. If I put it in the segfaults every time. I won't add a code listing since his bug is the virtually identical to bugs 970, 2348, 3016 and 3481. I would urge someone to look at this one; this bug crosses all platforms and is reported as early as 3.0.5. Parsing a file isn't really a brain-buster. Perhaps the browser.ini should be converted to XML and a quick parser library put in place? Just a suggestion. If I was a C coder I would do it myself... if only it were Java. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=3487&edit=1
