Bug #16539: Cannot determine error status

From: charmaine.tian@contec-innovations.com Operating system: Linux PHP version: 4.1.0 PHP Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description: Cannot determine error status I'd like to have some functionality that helps to determine if a script is terminated normally or due to time out error and/or memory limit exceeded error. There are two global flags, PG(connection_status) and AG(memory_exhausted), which supposedly would indicate such errors. However, they are not set properly. PG(connection_status) remains as PHP_CONNECTION_NORMAL when time out happens. AG(memory_exhausted) is always 0, never changes. I'm writing a new PHP extension and I need to generate an alert when a script is terminated due to errors. The changes I need are very minor, actually I can pinpoint the changes in the PHP source: 1) in Zend/zend_execute_API.c, function zend_timeout(), uncomment the following line: /* is there any point in this? we're terminating the request anyway... PG(connection_status) |= PHP_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT; */ 2) in Zend/zend_alloc.c, _CHECK_MEMORY_LIMIT macro, line AG(memory_exhausted=1; should be put before "zend_error(...)", because zend_error(...) never returns in case of fatal errors. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16539&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16539&r=submittedtwice
