It should have been: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/b1 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-11-21 01:42:17] karmak-php at karmak dot org Description: ------------ I've found two problems with virtual() that seem likely to be related. The first is that virtual() does not behave quite like the apache #include virtual="": When virtual() is used to call another php script, the query string in the virtual() call is ignored. For example, if you call virtual("/file?x=y"), the variable "x" will not be set in the included php script. An example of this is posted at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a1 The source for the two files used in this example are at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a1-php.txt http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a2-php.txt However, if you call the first script as "a1?x=y", the variable "x" will be set to "y" in the second script. This is not the way the Apache virtual function behaves: With Apache, the query string in the virtual call is passed to the script, as can be seen in the following shtml file: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a3 The source to this file is at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a3-shtml.txt Furthermore, all query string variables are reset when the virtual call is issued. This can be seen by calling the shtml file: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a4?x=y With the corresponding source code at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a4-shtml.txt Note that the x=y declaration is not passed to the php script. -------------------------------------------- The second problem is more critical, as it leads to a segfault which is displayed in the error logs, but nothing is reported in the browser and only a partial page will be displayed. An example of this is at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/a2 This page should end with the word "END", but instead it is cut off mid-sentence. The source for the two files used in this example are at: http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/b1-php.txt http://staging.karmak.org/2003/php-virtual-bug/b2-php.txt Reproduce code: --------------- See the description for source code URLs. Expected result: ---------------- See description. Actual result: -------------- See description. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=26341&edit=1
