 Reported By:      fowler at csufresno dot edu
 Status:           Critical
 Bug Type:         iPlanet related
 Operating System: Solaris (all)
 PHP Version:      4CVS-2002-11-06
 Assigned To:      wez
 New Comment:

I think in your snapshot it was not included. The file main/streams.c
should be 18.03.02 17:39 or later (version 1.125.2.42).
At this time I suggest to use PHP under solaris in CGI mode. I will put
a NSAPI plugin, that supports starting files with the PHP mime type as
CGI (which is in iPlanet servers not possible).
The NSAPI plugin can soon be downloaded from my website.

Still seeing it also, but with the entire error message, not just the
tail end of it. Built with php4-STABLE-200303181630.

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  Unknown(/path/to/index.php): failed to open stream:
Too
many open files in <b>Unknown</b> on line <b>0</b><br />
<br />

The error is not completely fixed: Now only the second line appears:

<br />
<b>Warning</b>:  (null)(): Failed opening
'/pangaea/webserver/docs/index.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:/pangaea/PHP4/lib/php') in <b>Unknown</b> on line
<b>0</b><br />

Testing the new code at the moment... Will inform you if problem occurs
after several hours of running. Hope not :)

We should write to the coding guidelines that nobody should use
fopen()... in the whole PHP code. There are a lot of extensions which
use fopen to create logfiles etc. All of them can fail on systems with
Solaris and other Unixes with the libc of AT&T.
