Bug #14529 Updated: script doesn't always finish output

ID: 14529 Updated by: rlm@pricegrabber.com Reported By: jay1@swift-web.com Status: Critical Bug Type: Output Control Operating System: Linux RH 7.2 PHP Version: 4.3.0-dev New Comment: We MAY have seen a similar problem (not using Zend Optimizer, though -- whew!). We had problems with locutions like function postprocess($buf) { $buf = preg_replace("/some stuff/","some other stuff",$buf); return $buf; } ob_start("postprocess"); Changing the postprocess function to function postprocess($ibuf) { $obuf = preg_replace("/some stuff/","some other stuff",$ibuf); return $obuf; } seems to have eliminated the problem.

I don't have the access at my end to try my scripts on a different linux version. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 08:57:03] hholzgra@php.net i faintly remember issues with the gcc version RedHat uses (experimental gcc prerelease from their own labs or something) there were definetly problems in the past that where RedHat-only :( do you have a chance to test on another linux distribution or to compile on another one and transfer the binaries to your RH system? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 08:31:53] derick@php.net Which webserver and version do you use? Derick ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 08:19:41] s.waight@gold.ac.uk Further to my previous comment. I downgraded to 4.0.6 with the last file upload patch and I am still getting the problem. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 07:10:42] s.waight@gold.ac.uk RH 7.2 / PHP 4.1.1 & 4.1.2 (tried both). My one comment that may be useful is that I am only having this problem on pages that include HTML forms and form elements. If I remove a few form elements from a form it happily renders the page. I have a few very simple pages that contain very little in the way of PHP but keep getting truncated at certain points. No segfault and no errors in the log files to correspond to the time of the failure. There doesn't seem to be a particular pattern or size issue. I've tried other recommendations in this group but have not been able to get any success. There seems to be a size issue somewhere of some sort because I stripped a page back a line at a time until it all rendered, and then started adding in extra PHP until it started truncating again. Please e-mail me if you would like the HTML/PHP pages that contain the HTML forms. In the mean time I heading for PHP 4.0.6... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
