#23534 [Bgs]: while and for loops getting stuck when counter check exceeds 13

ID: 23534 User updated by: mark at onelauter dot com Reported By: mark at onelauter dot com Status: Bogus Bug Type: Scripting Engine problem Operating System: Windows 2000 Server PHP Version: 4.3.1 New Comment: I suspect that you're correct. I can run scripts from the command line with no problems so I think it has something to do with the ISAPI setup. I've checked build numbers on the 2 web servers and they're the same, it runs on one but not the other. I'll just wipe the box and start over. If it fixes it I'll let you know. Cheers. :) Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 03:26:43] edink@php.net This is something wrong with your local configuration. The exact same setup is running on many installs without the described problem. I suggest you try re-installing php with default php.ini first, and then if it doesn't help re-installing the whole machine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 01:08:34] mark at onelauter dot com I don't know if it will help, but this sample also doesn't work. <?php for ($i=0;$i < 15;$i++) { ?> test <? } ?> There seems to be an issue with the output buffer. FWIW, I have buffering turned off to avoid the performance hit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 00:51:05] mark at onelauter dot com I found the same issue with "print" as I did with "echo". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-08 00:22:52] mark at onelauter dot com One new important development. I just figured out that its not the while loop or for loop that are generating the problem. This works. while ($i < 50) { $i++; } echo "$i "; However, if I put 14 echo statements in the file it fails. In other words, this works. echo "1"; echo "2"; ... lots of echos ... echo "13"; But if I add one more echo to the file it goes off into never never land. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-05-07 23:41:10] mark at onelauter dot com I should mention that these scripts are currently running fine on an older windows 2000 server. Since I want to retire this box I basically copied the existing installation to the new machine and adjusted NTFS permissions, set up IIS to use the ISAPI version and everything worked fine (as far as i can tell) except for this looping issue. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
