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

ID: 14529 Updated by: s.waight@gold.ac.uk 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: Apologies for not including web server details (did so in another post on another bug). Apache 1.3.20 with PHP as a DSO (no CGI compile). My local Unix guru has suggested trying a more recent Apache release which I will do when I get chance. I haven't tried with 4.0.6 pre-file upload and I am loathed to do so as I've now built PHP about a dozen times in the last week or so. I don't have access to another linux ditro unfortunately although we are running a production environment on Solaris. I haven't tried anything on that yet due to its production status but can do if it helps. GCC details (gcc -v) Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 17:27:27] rlm@pricegrabber.com 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-03-13 10:41:37] jay1@swift-web.com A question for s.waight@gold.ac.uk : Did you try it before the patch was applied in 4.0.6 Of the pages giving me grief, some of them have forms and some of them don't. 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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
