Bug #16658: substr seems to alter the script when used on large strings

From: druid@evectors.it Operating system: Linux 2.2.20 PHP version: 4.2.0 PHP Bug Type: Strings related Bug description: substr seems to alter the script when used on large strings Here is my first bug report ever, so please don't be so rude if I forgot something or reported something already known :) When I first use the function substr() to extract the first chars from the beginning of a large string (around 50 kb) that is a HTML page and when I print the whole string the script seems to stop. In example, I have a script that has basically this calls: printpage(); debuginfo(); Into printpage() is located the substr(); substr() is conditioned by an "if" condition, so is not used every time; if it is used then debuginfo() is not called or prints only few lines of debug, depending of the size of the string that was "substr()ed". My personal workaround is like $debugstr=debuginfo(); $htmlpage=printpage(); $finalpage=$htmlpage.$debugstr; print $finalpage; this works, but is not so elegant. Hope you can solve this :) Best regards Daniele Duca, Evectors srl -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16658&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16658&r=submittedtwice
