Bug #15651 Updated: Output is broken

ID: 15651 Updated by: pilots@farlep.net Reported By: pilots@farlep.net Status: Open Bug Type: *General Issues Operating System: Win2K-Server / UNIX PHP Version: 4.1.1 New Comment: I've found a decision of problem: I simply need replase line if (is_array($argv[0])) $argv=&$argv[0]; to: if (is_array($argv[0])) $argv=$argv[0]; And I'll not lose any fuctionality features. So, crush appears when an array element assigns to the same array by reference. Althow this operation is not very often and very useful :-), it works correctly and w/o crush in 4.0.6 version, and I think this crush should be fixed though. Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-23 06:46:36] pilots@farlep.net I made test using the advised method, and found that crush appears in one my simple function "call". A simple example goes below: <? // --------------------------------------\ // Apply specified function to arguments // if 2'nd argument is an array, its elements replace arguments // it's a way to apply function to arguments by their references // Examples: // list($c1)=call("intval",$a1); // list($c2,$c3)=call("htmlspecialchars",$b2,$b3); // call("htmlspecialchars",array(&$b2,&$b3)); // ------------------------------------\ function call() { if (func_num_args()<2) return false; $argv=func_get_args(); $func=array_shift($argv); error_log(__FILE__.'('.__LINE__.')'); // if (is_array($argv[0])) $argv=&$argv[0]; // Crush is here error_log(__FILE__.'('.__LINE__.')'); // reset($argv); while (list($k,$v)=each($argv)) $argv[$k]=$func($v); reset($argv); return $argv; } // ------------------------------------/ call("intval",1); // OK call("intval",array(1)); // Crush ?> Note: actually cutting line goes some earlier than that crush point, but, I think it's because some PHP bufferization, and is not important now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-22 06:35:16] yohgaki@php.net Could you set up linux/freebsd box to reproduce this bug? And generate backtrace. (Or get exit code with gdb) You can write "error_log(__FILE__.'(.'__LINE__.')')" to locate to find ofending function/line also. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-21 21:27:48] pilots@farlep.net Sorry. I wanted to say "... My site is complex enough..." ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-21 21:25:45] pilots@farlep.net I tryed to make some small scripts before, but there were no problems with them. My site is complete enough, there is a lot of includes (but execution time for homepage on my PC is less than 1 sec.). It looks like there are no problems for simply scripts, but I'll try again to make something ... By that time, if you like you may watch the results on different servers: 1) php4.0.6: http://www.sec4.wfdns.com/www.freetakeout.com/ 2) php4.1.1: http://vh110014.radntech.ca/fto/ - you may try to click some links there ("log-in to your account", for example) to see the difference in cutting point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2002-02-21 20:26:05] yohgaki@php.net If you can create _short_ & _complete_ script that reproduces the problem. We can fix it :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
