Bug #16665: Multiple MySQL connections causes crash when result is passed thru a function

From: lance_rushing@hotmail.com Operating system: Win 32 (XP home) PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: MySQL related Bug description: Multiple MySQL connections causes crash when result is passed thru a function I have a little bit of code for db connecting If I call this function more than once in the script (e.i. to connect to a 2nd database) php prompts Apache to send an error report using M$ bugreporting in XP. The code crases using either mysql_pconnect or mysql_connect //Crashes function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) { $dbh = mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass); // some code return $dbh; } //still crashes function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) { $dbh = mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass); return $dbh; } //works function db_hostconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass) { return mysql_pconnect($host, $db_user, $db_pass); } It appears to be something with moving the database handle into a variable and then returning the variable. Thanks. When running a script that has more than one mysql_connect prompts apache to send an error report (using M$ bug report feature in XP). Commenting out one of the connections takes care of the problem. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16665&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16665&r=submittedtwice
