Bug #16281: Constant 'RS_FUNCTIONPATH' changes value

From: f.vulto@re-base.com Operating system: FreeBSD 4.4 PHP version: 4.1.1 PHP Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Bug description: Constant 'RS_FUNCTIONPATH' changes value Using the following scriptfile 'test.php': <?php define('RS_FUNCTION' , 'x'); define('RS_FUNCTION_PATH', 'x'); define('RS_FUNCTIONPATH' , 'x'); define('RS_TEST' , 'x'); ?> <html> <head><title>RS_FUNCTIONPATH</title></head> <body> RS_FUNCTION: <?php print constant('RS_FUNCTION'); ?><br> RS_FUNCTION_PATH: <?php print constant('RS_FUNCTION_PATH'); ?><br> RS_FUNCTIONPATH: <?php print constant('RS_FUNCTIONPATH'); ?><br> RS_TEST: <?php print constant('RS_TEST'); ?><br> </body> </html> One would expect the following output at all times: RS_FUNCTION: x RS_FUNCTION_PATH: x RS_FUNCTIONPATH: x RS_TEST: x But when I keep refreshing the page (holding the F5-key down in Internet Explorer), within 30 seconds the constant 'RS_FUNCTIONPATH' starts changing value to 'csmFirstond' or 'PATHNCTIONPAT': RS_FUNCTION: x RS_FUNCTION_PATH: x RS_FUNCTIONPATH: PATHNCTIONPAT RS_TEST: x It's only the constant with the exact name 'RS_FUNCTIONPATH'; the others constants don't change but are there for comparison. I haven't been able to reproduce this problem on FreeBSD/PHP 4.0.6 or Windows 98/PHP 4.1.1. The PHP configuration on the offending FreeBSD server is this: './configure' '--with-mysql=/system/mysqld' '--with-apache=../apache_1.3.23/' '--enable-track-vars' '--enable-ftp' '--enable-xslt' '--with-xslt-sablot' '--with-sybase=/usr/local/freetds' '--with-dom' '--with-zlib-dir=/usr/include/' Freddy Vulto -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16281&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16281&r=submittedtwice
