#30760 [Fbk->Opn]: php hangs when extension does not exist

ID: 30760 User updated by: Claus-Werner dot Lermen at zf dot com Reported By: Claus-Werner dot Lermen at zf dot com -Status: Feedback +Status: Open Bug Type: IIS related Operating System: Windows 2000/2003 PHP Version: 4.3.9 New Comment: the latest snapshot does not solve the problem: php stills hangs when an extension cannot be loaded. When php.exe is called from the commandline the messagebox still pops up, even when I disable the E_CORE_WARNING. php is normally running in the background, therefore a messagebox should never be used - any message should be written to a logfile!

In the PHP source-distribution there is a file main.c It reads: if (!module_initialized || PG(log_errors)) { char *log_buffer; #ifdef PHP_WIN32 if (type==E_CORE_ERROR || type==E_CORE_WARNING) { MessageBox(NULL, buffer, error_type_str, MB_OK|ZEND_SERVICE_MB_STYLE); } #endif "Unable to load dynamic library..." is a CORE_WARNING according to what I see in the log. That means - according to my understanding of this code - if you don't log or display CORE_WARNINGs the messagebox should not appear. Try to set error_reporting = E_COMPILE_ERROR|E_ERROR|E_CORE_ERROR in the PHP.ini I don't understand why the PHP-developers decided to pop up a messagebox even if you decided to only log errors and warnings. I understand your problem because I wanted to restart the Apache-Server after updating the PHP-version through a Win2K-Terminal-Session and had to go to the physical webserver though, because the MessageBoxes are shown on Windowstation 0 and not on the very console created for my Terminal-Session. Best wishes and happy new year, Bernhard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2004-11-11 12:05:28] Claus-Werner dot Lermen at zf dot com Description: ------------ php hangs when it tries to load an non existing extension. This happens no matter if cgi or ISAPI. The effect is most dramatic, if php runs als ISAPI Filter; then it is no longer possible to stop IIS. When running as cgi, the cgi timeout will evetually clean up the situation. A small typo in php.ini can thus make an webserver unavailable - which I would consider a bug. When I call php.exe from the commandline, a message box with an errormessage pops up (... unable to load dynamic library ...)! If php tries to to the same while running without a screen, could this cause the observed behaviour? I tried several php Version up to 5.02 - they all do the same! Reproduce code: --------------- any php code Expected result: ---------------- php writes an error message! Actual result: -------------- php hange when running without a screen ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=30760&edit=1
