#34334 [NEW]: $_ENV malformed; $_ENV['_'] == /usr/sbin/httpd

From: tbarstow at workflowbydesignc dot om Operating system: OS X "Tiger" PHP version: 5.0.4 PHP Bug Type: CGI related Bug description: $_ENV malformed; $_ENV['_'] == /usr/sbin/httpd Description: ------------ I have a CLI PHP script that is run via cron. Most of the time (about 75%) it runs without issue. Sometimes, however, I get output similar to the following in my log file: [01-Sep-2005 13:30:40] PHP Notice: Undefined index: HOME in /path/to/file.php on line xx [01-Sep-2005 13:30:40] Array ( [PATH] => /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/libexec:/System/Library/CoreServices [PWD] => / [SHLVL] => 3 [_] => /usr/sbin/httpd ) Note that PHP and only PHP writes into this log file. Reproduce code: --------------- $scriptdir = "$_ENV[HOME]/automation"; error_log(print_r($_ENV,true)); Expected result: ---------------- I expect to see the $_ENV array printed into the log file, with the name of the currently running php script in $_ENV['_']. I also expect to see no error from the line that references $_ENV['HOME']. Here is a "normal" entry, generated by the exact same script: [01-Sep-2005 13:46:01] Array ( [SHELL] => /bin/sh [USER] => wbd [SCRIPT_PATH] => /Users/wbd/automation [PATH] => /usr/bin:/bin [PWD] => /Users/wbd [SHLVL] => 1 [HOME] => /Users/wbd [LOG_PATH] => /Users/wbd/automation/_logs [LOGNAME] => wbd [_] => /Users/wbd/automation/_shared/everyMinute.php [__CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING] => 0x1F5:0:0 ) Actual result: -------------- See log entry above. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=34334&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot (php4): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=trysnapshot4 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=trysnapshot50 Try a CVS snapshot (php5.1): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=trysnapshot51 Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=34334&r=mysqlcfg
