We're still getting people passing the buck.. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-15 16:44:33] gmeakin@btinternet.com I am using Apache version 2.0.43 with the sapi php module. I downloaded the latest stable snapshot of php (4.3.1) but it still reproduced the same orignial problem discussed. Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 19:25:17] sniper@php.net Please try using this CVS snapshot: http://snaps.php.net/php4-STABLE-latest.tar.gz For Windows: http://snaps.php.net/win32/php4-win32-STABLE-latest.zip (and what apache version is it?) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-14 13:34:57] gmeakin@btinternet.com I can confirm this bug including the for loop provided earlier in this bug thread. I am using php 4.3.0 with Apache 2.0.43 with Windows XP Home Edition. I found this bug report after noticing the same effect with a large piece of php that I have been writing. I have found that turning off error reporting in php.ini helps but does not solve the problem totally. I found that using the flush() function helped but was not a reliable solution. This seems a blatant problem which is making debugging and development almost impossible and very frustrating. Is there any update on confirming the bug? Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 23:42:44] spagmoid@yahoo.com Ridiculous.. how on earth can they look at this: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10240 bytes) And say its a bug in IE? I agree with the first assesment - this is a likely a CRITICAL bug. I have seen pages fail for no reason on linux too, who knows if this problem could be responsible. This needs to be looked at by someone at the top. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-10 20:58:22] b@brentc.com I had the exact same problem. I submitted a bug report. Bug smashers seemed to go off on some random tangent. Then decided all of a sudden that it was an IE problem (even though in my original report I clearly stated that there was a problem with Mozilla/Netscape output as well).
