There was a bugfix commited including a changelog entry pointing to this Bugreport - so what about you are whining? Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-07 10:38:37] requinix@php.net It was closed because it was fixed. And there *was* a comment for that - it was automatic so sorry if you wanted something more personal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-10-07 10:28:29] cpuidle at gmx dot de @pollita@php.net would you kindly explain why this bug has been closed without any comment? I've tried to provide every analysis I could including PHP sources. Doesn't that at least deserve a small token of appreciation like an answer? Disappointed with the culture :( ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-05-28 15:52:55] pollita@php.net Automatic comment on behalf of pollita Revision: http://git.php.net/?p=php-src.git;a=commit;h=8dcfec9789b4792f7b6b25673274b74bae71b512 Log: Bugfix #74556 stream_socket_get_name() returns empty string ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2017-05-08 15:32:19] cpuidle at gmx dot de Description: ------------ When using UNIX sockets, php returns string(1) ''.\\0.'' for client side socket name of a client socket instead of false. See https://3v4l.org/VStV6 Internally, stream_socket_get_name (https://lxr.room11.org/xref/php-src%407.1/ext/standard/streamsfuncs.c) calls php_stream_xport_get_name (https://lxr.room11.org/source/s?refs=php_stream_xport_get_name&project=php-src@7.1). The observed \0 string seems to be a returned empty C string buffer not further checked? Test script: --------------- <?php $s = stream_socket_server('unix:///tmp/demo.sock'); $c = stream_socket_client('unix:///tmp/demo.sock'); var_dump( stream_socket_get_name($s, true), stream_socket_get_name($c, false) ); Expected result: ---------------- bool(false) bool(false) Actual result: -------------- bool(false) string(1) "" ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=74556&edit=1
