Bug #76529 [Opn->Ver]: php-cgi: -C option ignored

Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76529&edit=1 ID: 76529 Updated by: ab@php.net Reported by: shhsu at microsoft dot com Summary: php-cgi: -C option ignored -Status: Open +Status: Verified Type: Bug Package: *General Issues Operating System: Windows PHP Version: 7.2.7 Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: Thanks for the report. You're rigt, -C is only taken in account when php-cgi.exe is run on console, like the most of the options. It seems to be indeed by design, as the surrounding condition is "if (!cgi && !fastcgi) {". This likely to be fixed easily by moving the case a couple of lines above into another switch https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/5f58f5ccf0909a90baef1280c3826f96b8e133ee/sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c#L2293 . It seems to be a crossplatform behavior, not IIS specific. I'm a bit reluctant on changing this right away, because there might be other implication in performance and compatibility with some legacy PHP code. Right now the 7.3 feature freeze is less than a week away and changing this behavior might have a beyond impact. It would be good to hear more opinions and to consider a fix for the next minor version. Thanks.

We noticed that PHP is trying to chdir to script directory and that is causing a lot of contention because it's IO bound. To workaround this. I tried to pass "-C" option to php-cgi.exe. (Process run as: "php-cgi.exe -C" However, I am still observing chdir taking place. P.S. I noticed that php_execute_script (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/5f58f5ccf0909a90baef1280c3826f96b8e133ee/main/main.c#L2496) gets executed before zend_first_try (https://github.com/php/php-src/blob/5f58f5ccf0909a90baef1280c3826f96b8e133ee/sapi/cgi/cgi_main.c#L2356) where the -C option is processed. Not sure if this is by design. Test script: --------------- Setup PHP for IIS. Add the following configuration </system.webServer> <fastCgi> <application fullPath="C:\php-7.2.7-nts-Win32-VC15\php-cgi.exe" arguments="-C" maxInstances="10" instanceMaxRequests="10000000" queueLength="10000"> <environmentVariables> <environmentVariable name="PHP_FCGI_MAX_REQUESTS" value="10000000" /> <environmentVariable name="PHPRC" value="C:\php-7.2.7-nts-Win32-VC15" /> </environmentVariables> </application> </fastCgi> </system.webServer> <location path="" overrideMode="Allow"> <system.webServer> <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Script"> <add name="PHP-iisfcgi" path="*.php" verb="GET,HEAD,POST" modules="FastCgiModule" scriptProcessor="C:\php-7.2.7-nts-Win32-VC15\php-cgi.exe|-C" resourceType="Either" /> </system.webServer> .... </location> Expected result: ---------------- If I execute php-cgi with -C, no chdir to script path should take place Actual result: -------------- chdir to script path ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=76529&edit=1
